Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium white potatoes or Yukon golds ( , about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, skin on and quartered)
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 celery stalks (ribs) (, diced)
6 green onions (, diced)
5 hard boiled eggs (, peeled)
1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Grilled Potato and Green Onion Salad image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound applewood smoked bacon, optional
8 russet potatoes
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches green onions, both white and green parts, trimmed
1/3 cup Champagne vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 shallots, minced
1 teaspoon gray salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or use half bacon fat)
Bacon fat, optional
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
  • If using bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and render in a skillet over low heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from pan, and reserve the bacon fat for the dressing.
  • Wash potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cover with cold water and about 2 tablespoons of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Partially cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes, put in bowl, and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and black pepper, to taste.
  • Drizzle the green onions with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil (or the olive oil-bacon fat blend), season with salt and pepper to taste, and grill until tender. Remove from grill and allow to cool. Cut scallions into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Grill the potatoes until golden brown and tender. If the potatoes are still firm but already brown, finish cooking in a 375 degrees F oven. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature. Slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch sticks and put in a large bowl. Keep all ingredients separate until the day of the party.
  • Make the dressing: combine Champagne vinegar, Dijon, shallot, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. (You may add in some of the optional strained bacon fat for taste at this stage.) Check seasoning. Keep chopped Italian parsley separate until ready to serve, and toss in at the last minute.
  • To serve, pour dressing over potatoes, green onions, and bacon, if using, and toss.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD



Classic Potato Salad image

Going to a cookout? This classic potato salad is what you want! It's made with boiled potatoes, sour cream, mayo, green onions, celery, parsley, pickles and bacon. Serve room temperature or chilled.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Salad     Side Dish     Comfort Food     How To     Picnic Salad     Potato     Potato Salad     Salad

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (you can leave the peel on if you want), cut into 1-inch pieces
6 slices bacon
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons mustard (your favorite: yellow, Dijon, stone ground)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 dill pickles, chopped into 1/4 in cubes (about 3/4 cup)
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold, salted water (1 teaspoon salt). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (If you want, add some pickle juice to the drained, still slightly warm potatoes. The potatoes will absorb some of the juices, making them even tastier!)
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon: Heat a frying pan on medium low. Lay out the strips of bacon in a single layer. Gently cook, turning over occasionally with tongs, until lightly browned, and much of the fat rendered out. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess fat. Do not pour any fat from the pan down the drain, it will clog it. Instead, pour it into a jar, or sop up with paper towels and discard. Once cool, chop the bacon finely.
  • Assemble the potato salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add a little salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and use a rubber spatula to gently combine with the sour cream mixture. Add the green onions, celery, parsley, pickles, and bacon, again gently combining. (Include a couple tablespoons of the pickle juice for good measure.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large potatoes, scrubbed

Steps:

  • While the potatoes are cooking, mix together all the other ingredients.
  • Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl. Stir together the dressing (it will have settled) and pour over the hot potatoes. With a large spoon, toss the salad carefully to coat.
  • Best warm - can be warmed up in the microwave.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Too much mayonnaise will make the salad heavy and greasy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Some popular mix-ins for potato salad include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you and your family will love. So next time you are looking for a side dish, give potato salad a try!
