Categories     Salad

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes ((See Note 1))
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, (divided)
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons regular mayonnaise ((we like Best Foods/Hellman's))
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (not Dijon mustard)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 stalks celery, (finely diced (~1 cup; 117g))
4 hard-boiled eggs, (coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup bread and butter pickles, (finely diced)
1/4 cup sweet onion, (finely diced)
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons fresh chives or freshly chopped parsley, additional paprika

Steps:

  • COOK POTATOES: Wash potatoes (no need to chop yet!). Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with 1 and 1/2 inches of cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, salt the water (add 1 teaspoon salt for every 4 cups of water.) Then reduce the heat to medium-low so potatoes are simmering (potatoes will cook at the same speed). Simmer for 12-17 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork (about 13-14 minutes for me).
  • FINISHING POTATOES: Meanwhile, set up an ice bath. Add cold water to a large bowl filled with ice. Drain the potatoes and immediately add them to the ice bath. Once cooled, drain thoroughly and transfer to a cutting board. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized (1-inch) chunks and add to a large bowl. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar over potatoes and add a pinch of salt. Toss and set aside.
  • DRESSING: In a medium-sized bowl, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, mayo, sour cream, pickle relish, yellow mustard, celery seed, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk until smooth and combined.
  • ASSEMBLY: Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs (See Note 2), finely chop the celery, the pickles, and the sweet onion. Add to the large bowl with the potatoes. Pour the dressing over everything and gently stir to combine. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before eating. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING



Roasted Potato Salad With Jalapeño-Avocado Dressing image

As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds small russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic or onion powder (optional)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 lime, halved
Handful of dill leaves
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup vegan or regular mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 to 2 jalapeños, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
  • Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
  • To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes for the best results. They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when cooked, so your salad won't turn mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be too soft, or they will fall apart when you mix them with the dressing.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. This will help the dressing to adhere to the potatoes and prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the dressing with the potatoes. You don't want to overmix them, or the potatoes will break apart.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or celery salt, to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. Potato salad is best served cold, so if you're not going to eat it right away, chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
