SUPER-ZESTY POTATO SALAD



Super-Zesty Potato Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups neutral-flavored oil (such as vegetable, canola or peanut)
2 1/2 pounds small red bliss potatoes, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Make the mayonnaise: Put the egg yolks in a food processor and add the vinegar, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn on the machine and very slowly start to drizzle in the oil (drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then you can start adding it in a slow, steady stream). If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a few drops of water; if it is not thick enough, add a little more oil with the motor running.
  • Make the salad: Put the potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the onion, celery and vinegar. Season with salt.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (discard the garlic). Add the bacon-onion mixture to the hot potatoes and stir to incorporate. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise and the mustard and season with salt. Refrigerate until cold.

TANGY, ZESTY OIL AND VINEGAR POTATO SALAD



Tangy, Zesty Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad image

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!! Yumm....From Bon Appetit, 2009. **Note: To use smaller potatoes, cook time is about 5 minutes less.

POTATO SALAD BY EMERIL



Potato Salad by Emeril image

My mom and I make regular potato salad just alike even though we don't have a written down recipe. My husband really likes mine and so he doesn't think of this as potato salad, but a potato dish. It is great served warm just after you make it.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATO SALAD



Southern Fried Potato Salad image

Just a twist on regular potato salad...frying the potatoes instead of boiling them. I know I should be ashamed of myself. Homemade fries are better (just chop potatoes and fry in whatever oil you have until crispy) but you can also use frozen. Also, you can peel the potatoes if you prefer.

Tips:

  • If you like your potato salad creamy, add a dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream to the dressing.
