Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus about 2 tablespoons more for garnish
1/3 cup roughly chopped green onions, plus about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 stalks celery, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don't have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
  • Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you've poured in too much dressing, but don't worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
  • Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 52m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs Small potatoes, red, baby Yukon gold, or new, halved ((or quartered if large))
1 1/2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp minced Shallots
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Herbs ((I like a combination of basil, parsley, and a small amount of dill, but use any that you have on hand))

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes and 1 Tablespoon of salt in a large pot. Fill with water to completely cover.
  • Bring the water to a boil and then lower heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (test them for doneness by piercing them with a knife - they should be easily pierced by not fall apart), 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes into a colander. Place the potatoes over the empty pot (off the heat) and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let them steam and cool for 15 minutes while preparing the dressing. (Letting the potatoes steam prevents them from being water-logged.)
  • Whisk together apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, salt, and shallots. Slowly add in olive oil while whisking.
  • When potatoes have cooled, pour dressing slowly over top, gently folding it into the potatoes until they are well coated. (You may not need all of the dressing right away to complete coat the potatoes, but they may absorb more as they sit. If you have some dressing leftover, save it and you can stir some more into the potatoes right before serving.)
  • Let potato salad rest in the fridge for at least 2 and up to 24 hours for the flavors to blend.
  • Just before serving, fold in fresh herbs. Taste and season with some more salt, if needed.
  • Serve cool or at room temperature.

Herb Potato Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds small white boiling potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons good dry white wine
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons 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 off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

POTATO SALAD WITH TARTAR SAUCE AND FRESH HERBS



Potato Salad With Tartar Sauce and Fresh Herbs image

Most potato salad recipes call for tossing together all the components, but this one calls for assembling the dish in layers, and for brightening - and loosening - the traditional mayonnaise dressing with pickles and their brine. The steps are simple, and the key is in the potato treatment: Boil the potatoes and slice them into rounds, then immediately douse them with fragrant pickle brine and olive oil, so they soak up flavor and retain moisture. Prepare your potatoes and tartar sauce in advance, then assemble before serving, draping your seasoned potatoes on a platter, drizzling them with the loose tartar sauce and sprinkling with herbs and lemon zest for a modern update on a classic.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds small (2- to 3-inch-long) red potatoes, scrubbed
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced bread and butter pickle chips, plus 5 tablespoons brine
2 tablespoons minced, drained jarred capers
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
Torn fresh parsley and dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high. Add the potatoes and cook until tender when speared with a fork, about 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a large colander to drain and cool.
  • While the potatoes cook, prepare the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced pickles and 2 tablespoons pickle brine, minced capers, garlic and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Once cool enough to handle, slice the cooked potatoes crosswise into 1-centimeter-thick rounds. Transfer to a large bowl, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining 3 tablespoons pickle brine. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange on a large serving platter in an even layer, setting some of the rounded pieces skin-side up.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with the tartar sauce and top with torn parsley and dill. Zest the lemon on top and serve right away.

POTATO SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS AND LEMON



Potato Salad With Fresh Herbs and Lemon image

This is a great salad for picnics, get-togethers or potlucks(contains no mayonnaise). It's just a great potato salad. I love fresh herbs and I enjoy using them in my recipes every chance I get. I found this in a Bon Appetit "Deliciously Light" cookbook, and it justly describes this salad.I have taken liberties with this recipe, therefore it's not the same as in the cookbook. Times do not include time to bring water to a boil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different textures and flavors, so using a mix can create a more interesting salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use fresh herbs: Dried herbs will not have as much flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You can add other vegetables, such as celery or carrots, or different types of dressing.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste.
