MASHED POTATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND HERBS



Mashed Potato Salad With Scallions and Herbs image

Creamier than a classic potato salad, and chunkier and zestier than regular mashed potatoes, this hybrid dish can be served warm or at room temperature, when its texture is at its softest and best. (Never serve this cold; no one likes cold mashed potatoes.) The key to getting the right texture is to cook the potatoes a little more than you would for potato salad, but not so much that they completely fall apart. You are looking for chunks of potatoes coated in a fluffy layer of highly seasoned mashed potatoes. Potato salads tend to absorb their seasonings as they sit, so for the most flavorful dish, be prepared to add more salt, lemon juice and olive oil to taste just before serving.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus more lemon juice for serving
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Dash or two of hot sauce, to taste
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, sour cream or crème fraîche
1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped basil or dill

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in a pot of well-salted water until they are very tender but not mushy, 15 to 22 minutes. Drain well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, pepper and hot sauce. When the salt is dissolved, whisk in the olive oil, mayonnaise and mustard.
  • Add potatoes to the bowl and mix them very well, until well coated with dressing. Then use the spoon to mash about a quarter of them. You want 1-inch (or so) chunks of potatoes coated in some mashed potatoes. Add scallions and parsley and toss well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, hot sauce and olive oil, if needed. Scatter chopped basil or dill over dressed potatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature, but not cold.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like red potatoes or Yukon Golds, hold their shape well when cooked, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes to perfection. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart, so be careful not to boil them for too long. You want them to be tender but still firm.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. You want the potato salad to be creamy, but not too heavy. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise for every pound of potatoes.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. This is where you can get creative and make the potato salad your own. Some popular mix-ins include hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, diced carrots, and chopped onion.
  • Season the salad to taste. Be sure to taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar.

Conclusion:

Tangy Potato Salad with Scallions is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a simple and flavorful potato salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
