Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds petite red potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into large strips
Olive oil, for drizzling
Two 1-inch-thick T-bone steaks, at room temperature
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 cup English mustard (I like Coleman's here)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
4 scallions, white and green parts, chopped

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Fill a large pot with cold water; add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into halves or quarters depending on the size
  • Preheat a grill to medium high.
  • Drizzle the potatoes and red pepper strips with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the grill and cook until charred and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes (see Cook's Note). Chop the peppers once cool enough to handle.
  • For the steak: Season the steaks on all side by drizzling with olive oil, then sprinkling on salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place the thyme on the grill and immediately place the steaks over the top. Cook on one side for about 4 minutes, then flip, discarding the thyme, and grill for another 3 minutes. Remove the steaks from the grill and gently tent with aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
  • For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil and sugar until the sugar granules dissipate into the dressing. Add the scallions and stir.
  • Cut the meat off the bone and chop the steak into bite-size pieces. Toss them in a large bowl along with the potatoes and peppers. Mix, then drizzle over the dressing and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SHANNON'S LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD



Shannon's Loaded Baked Potato Salad image

a tip.....use the crock from your crockpot - chill in fridge or freezer to make VERY cold. Put the final mixture in this. Will stay cold for hours. You can make your own bacon bits by frying up 16 oz of bacon, put on paper towel to drain, cool, crumble. I have also put a couple of tablespoons of the bacon grease in the mixture...

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds, as they hold their shape well and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Boil potatoes until tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will break apart when mixed with the dressing.
  • Cool Potatoes Completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This prevents the dressing from becoming too runny.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Opt for homemade mayonnaise, freshly chopped herbs, and crispy bacon.
  • Make Ahead: This potato salad can be made ahead of time, up to 24 hours in advance. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve Chilled: Serve the potato salad chilled for the ultimate refreshing side dish. Garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for extra color.
