DEVILED EGG POTATO SALAD WITH BACON



Deviled Egg Potato Salad With Bacon image

I just made this up as I looked at a couple other recipes and put them all together to come up with one GREAT potato salad! The pickles and bacon sound like they wouldnt taste right together but trust me, they really make this salad pop!

Provided by Danielle1987

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs of baby yellow potatoes, cut into halves
6 hard-boiled eggs
8 slices bacon, fully cooked and crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise (more or less to taste, I used about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon mustard
granulated garlic
granulated onion
salt and pepper
4 pickles, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon pickle juice (from jar)

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into halves and boil until almost done (don't want them to fall apart). Drain potatoes.
  • Put potatoes into medium size bowl. While they are still warm, add salt and pepper and the granulated garlic and onion (however much you prefer for taste) and lemon juice and toss potatoes. Set aside.
  • Cut hard boiled eggs in half and take the yoke out and set aside in a small bowl. Cut the whites in little chunks and add to bowl with the potatoes.
  • Cut pickles into pieces (as small or big as you prefer) and add to potatoes.
  • Use fork and smoosh the yokes until you have gotten most of the lumps out. Add the mayo, mustard, some more granulated garlic and onion (easy on both of these as to not overpower the end flavor), pickle juice and pepper. Mix all together in small bowl.
  • Add yoke/mayo mixture to potatoes. Mix well.
  • Add the cooked and crumbled bacon and toss lightly.
  • Cover and chill (or eat right away if you cant wait like I did!) :-).
  • It's also very good with the pre-cubed pre-cooked grilled chicken pieces you can buy at the store.
  • The best way to serve this potato salad is chilled but I took a taste and couldn't wait to eat it and it was still very good right after it was made! I hope you enjoy! Please let me know if you like it!

POTATO-EGG SALAD (ENSALADA DE PAPAS Y HUEVOS)



Potato-Egg Salad (Ensalada de Papas y Huevos) image

Provided by Daisy Martinez

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Eastern or white new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 8 cups)
Salt
4 extra large eggs
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bottled roasted red pepper, drained and cut into 1/2-inch dice, optional

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Pour in enough cold water to cover and add a small handful of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust the heat so the water is simmering and cook until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife, about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, start making the eggs: Put the eggs in a separate saucepan and pour in enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to medium-low. Cook the eggs for exactly 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and cool the eggs in the pan under cold running water for several minutes. Peel, and set aside.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain them and put them in a serving bowl. Immediately sprinkle the vinegar over them and set aside to cool. Don't stir the potatoes too much while still hot, as they tend to fall apart and look unattractive.
  • Once the potatoes are cool, add the olive oil and chives and stir gently to coat the potatoes with oil. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper and toss again. Cut the eggs into quarters and decorate the top of the salad. Sprinkle with diced red pepper, if using. Serve at room temperature.

LITE HAM EGG AND POTATO SALAD



Lite Ham Egg and Potato Salad image

I came up with recipe when following the CSIRO Total Wellbeing diet. It's really easy to prepare and tastes great! For those on CSIRO Diet the points are: 1 Bread (Potato), 1 protein (egg/ham) and 1-1/2 vegetables (depending on size of side salad).

Provided by asqui

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium potatoes
2 spring onions or 2 scallions
1 (100 g) ham steaks
2 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 -2 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to the boil and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
  • Add eggs to the pot.
  • Continue to boil the eggs and potatoes for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely cooked through. A skewer should pass easily through the centre of the potatoes.
  • Allow to cool. The above can be done the night before and the eggs and potatoes refrigerated overnight.
  • Start your char-grill or pan heating up, spray lightly with oil. A grill with a bit of charcoal or character is best, as it adds a more "barbequed" flavour to the ham.
  • Meanwhile, dice the cooled boiled potatoes into 1cm cubes.
  • Peel the boiled eggs and chop them lengthways in half and then cut each half across into slices. Add to potatoes.
  • Finely chop and add the spring onions/scallions.
  • Once the grill or pan is heated, add the ham steak and cook until heated through and a little charred.
  • Remove the steak from heat and allow to cool, slightly. Dice into even cubes and add.
  • In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add water until the dressing reaches the desirable consistency.
  • Pour dressing over other ingredients, season with salt/pepper, toss and divide evenly onto plates.
  • Serve with a lighter side salad such as cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and cucumber.

Bacon and Egg Potato Salad By Nor image

I have been making my potato salad this way for years. It has been served at many cook outs, and have had many requests for my recipe. I watched my Mom make it growing up, and I added my own little twist through the years. My husband once told me he never liked potato salad. Until, he had my potato salad. If you like Egg Potato...

Provided by Nor Mac

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 medium russet or idaho potatoes cut in to 6th 's
8 hard boiled eggs chopped chunky
3-4 long stalks of celery chopped
1/2 1/2 of a medium sweet onion such as vadahlia
1 1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 Tbsp basil
1 1/4 c mayonnaise hellman's or dukes
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 lb cooked bacon ( i use apple cider cured) you can use any bacon of choice

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and peel potatoes. Cut each potato in to 6- 8 pieces. I try not to cut my potatoes to small. When you mix in the mayo etc. The potatoes fall apart some. That way I still get good size chunks. Not mushy potatoes.
  • 2. Boil the 8 eggs to hard boil stage at the same time as the potatoes. When potatoes are just tender enough to stick a fork in . Do not over cook. You still want them to be a bit firm. Remove from heat,and soak in cold water to stop them from cooking. Drain and put in fridge in a large bowl.
  • 3. Peel the eggs after they are cooked and cooled in cold water. Chop the eggs. Not real small. You want some chunkiness. Chop the celery,and onion.Fry the bacon until crisp,and set aside.
  • 4. Salt and pepper the potatoes. Toss well. Mix the Mayonnaise,, and mustard with the eggs, celery, onion, paprika,, basil and parsley flakes.
  • 5. mix in egg mixture to the potatoes. Coat well to combine. At this time, if your potatoes hold nice,and you want the pieces smaller. Go ahead and chop them up a little more. if desired. I usually just take my mixing spoon,and cut in to some of them, and stir.
  • 6. Refrigerate for a few hours. Let the flavors blend. Take out of fridge,and stir.Your option: Give it a taste. Some mayonnaise may have absorbed in to the potatoes. At this time if you prefer. Add a little more mayonnaise to make it a bit more creamy. Before serving. Top with half the crisp crumbled bacon. and serve. I keep a dish with the rest of the crumbled bacon nearby. Anyone who wants extra bacon on their potato salad can sprinkle it on it. It is so good!!!

Tips:

  • Boil Potatoes Perfectly: Ensure the water is boiling rapidly before adding potatoes, and salt the water generously. Avoid overcooking potatoes as they can become mushy and lose their shape. Insert a fork or knife into a potato chunk; if it goes through easily, the potatoes are cooked.
  • Cool Potatoes Quickly: Immediately drain potatoes in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent overcooking. Alternatively, place the potatoes in a bowl and fill it with ice water; let them cool for a few minutes, then drain and dry the potatoes.
  • Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs are essential for the best egg salad. Old eggs may have a sulfurous odor and affect the salad's taste. To check the freshness of an egg, place it in a bowl of water; if it sinks and lays flat on its side, it's fresh.
  • Chop Ingredients Evenly: Ensure the potatoes, eggs, celery, and onion are chopped into uniform pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide a consistent texture.
  • Use Quality Mayonnaise: Opt for a good-quality mayonnaise, as it makes a big difference in the salad's flavor. Look for brands that use simple, natural ingredients and avoid those with added sugars or preservatives.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard if desired. You can also add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for extra flavor and color.
