Potato Salad With Pancetta, Rosemary, and Lemon image

Lemon peel and lemon juice, rosemary, and an olive oil dressing give this a nice lightness. If you prefer a creamy potato salad, use 2/3 cup mayonnaise in place of the olive oil. Honestly, this is best if made the day before and allowed to rest overnight.

Time 47m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ounces pancetta, 1/8-inch-thick slices (Italian bacon, about 5 slices)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary (less if using dried)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel (optional if your not a lemon lover)
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup olive oil (use more or less if you like)
1 teaspoon salt (or to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to your taste)
3 lbs yukon gold potatoes
3 large celery ribs, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Arrange pancetta slices on rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes, watching carefully (do not turn). Drain on paper towels. Cool. Coarsely chop pancetta.
  • Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, rosemary, lemon peel, and garlic in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place potatoes in large pot. Add enough cold, salted, water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer with lid ajar until tender, 18 to 25 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices (remove skin, if desired). Place in large bowl; add celery. Drizzle dressing over; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Pancetta and potato salad can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pancetta; chill. Keep potato salad chilled. Bring pancetta to room temperature before continuing.
  • Sprinkle pancetta and chopped parsley over potato salad.

This potato salad was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra lemon and rosemary next time.

I skipped the pancetta and used bacon instead, and it turned out just as good! Will definitely make this again.
