Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds small white potatoes
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD



Classic Potato Salad image

The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings (2 1/2 quarts)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds russet, Yukon Gold or Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced small
2 celery stalks (optional)
Sweet paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
  • As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
  • Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Boil Potatoes Properly: Use a large pot with plenty of salted water to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can lead to uneven cooking and mushy potatoes.
  • Cool Potatoes Thoroughly: After boiling, drain the potatoes and immediately place them in a colander under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and prevent the potatoes from becoming overcooked.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture. This includes using creamy mayonnaise, tangy mustard, sweet pickle relish, and flavorful celery and onion.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your personal preference. Add more salt, pepper, or other spices as desired. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness and tang.
  • Make Ahead: Walter's Potato Salad can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient dish for potlucks and gatherings. Simply prepare the salad according to the recipe and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Walter's Potato Salad is a classic American side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy, and flavorful dressing, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Whether you follow the original recipe or experiment with variations, this versatile salad is sure to impress your taste buds.
