Garlic Aioli Potato Salad image

Homemade garlic aioli gives this otherwise classic potato salad a pungent kick. If you don't want to add the hard-cooked eggs, use another 1/2 pound of potatoes instead. This is best served at least an hour or so after making to allow the flavors to mellow. Or make it the day before and store it in the refrigerator; bring it to room temperature before serving. If you can find garlic chives, there's no better place for them than here.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large eggs
2 garlic cloves, grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice, more as needed
1 large egg yolk
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 pounds small waxy white or yellow potatoes, roughly about the same size
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place 2 eggs in a small pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; immediately remove from heat and cover for 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel and dice small.
  • Meanwhile, combine grated garlic, salt and lemon juice in a blender, and pulse a few times to combine. Pulse in egg yolk. With motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until completely incorporated and mayonnaise is thick. Scrape into a bowl and fold in sour cream. Fold in celery and red onion.
  • Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
  • Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with diced boiled eggs and 2/3 of the dressing. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, toss with some of the remaining dressing to taste (if desired). Season with black pepper and add more salt if necessary. Sprinkle with chives.

I'm allergic to garlic. Does anyone have any suggestions for a substitute?

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The potatoes in this salad were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too garlicky for my taste. I think I'll use half the amount of garlic next time.

I'm not a huge fan of potato salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The garlic aioli dressing is amazing and the potatoes are cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This potato salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add some chopped bacon and hard-boiled eggs for extra flavor.

I love that this recipe uses red potatoes. They hold their shape well and don't get mushy. The dressing is also very versatile. I've used it on other salads and even as a dip for vegetables.

This potato salad was a hit at my last BBQ! The garlic aioli dressing was creamy and flavorful, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
