The secret to Ina Garden's zesty Potato Salad recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network? Buttermilk and two mustards: Dijon and whole grain.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds small white potatoes
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them cool slightly before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, or the potatoes will break apart.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and blend together.
  • Serve the potato salad with your favorite toppings, such as chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Mississippi-style potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy dressing and tender potatoes, this potato salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try.
