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.

WARM OR COLD POTATO GARDEN SALAD



Warm or Cold Potato Garden Salad image

Really really tasty when warm and also yummy cold! You can half the recipe easily or double it! Haricot vert is French for green beans. Haricot meaning beans and vert meaning green. French green beans are longer and thinner than most American varieties. They are also more tender and have a more complex flavor. For the most part, they are interchangeable with American green beans which are also called string beans or snap beans. If you are unable to find haricot verts, substitute with the thinnest young green beans you can find. Made for the CrazeE contest 2009

2 scallions, sliced thin (or about 4 tbls. chopped chives)
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced (or chopped)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a pot. Cover with water, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil. Cook about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain, rinse under cold water.
  • Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the haricots verts and zucchini for about 2-3 minutes, until beans turn bright green. Strain them and rinse and drain in colander with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • In bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, vinegar(s), black pepper, and tarragon until smooth. Use the larger amount for lots of creamy dressing.
  • Peel potatoes, cut into bite size chunks(1/2"-1"),.
  • Place potatoes, zucchini and beans, scallions, eggs, and parsley into a serving bowl and toss gently with mayonnaise dressing. Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm or cold.

  • If serving cold the next day, make a little more dressing and add some in when ready to serve. The potatoes absorb alot of the liquid and the salad may be a little dry.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or new potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked. This makes them ideal for potato salads.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, cook them until they are just tender. You can check this by piercing them with a fork; they should be easy to pierce, but not falling apart.
  • Cool the potatoes completely: Before adding the potatoes to the salad, let them cool completely. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to potatoes, you can add a variety of other vegetables to your garden salad, such as carrots, celery, radishes, and cucumbers. This will make the salad more colorful and nutritious.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes a potato salad special. There are many different types of dressings that you can use, so experiment until you find one that you like. Some popular options include mayonnaise-based dressings, vinaigrette dressings, and yogurt-based dressings.
  • Garnish the salad: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious potato salad that will be enjoyed by everyone.
