POTATO SALAD

Categories     Salad

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes ((See Note 1))
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, (divided)
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons regular mayonnaise ((we like Best Foods/Hellman's))
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (not Dijon mustard)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 stalks celery, (finely diced (~1 cup; 117g))
4 hard-boiled eggs, (coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup bread and butter pickles, (finely diced)
1/4 cup sweet onion, (finely diced)
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons fresh chives or freshly chopped parsley, additional paprika

Steps:

  • COOK POTATOES: Wash potatoes (no need to chop yet!). Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with 1 and 1/2 inches of cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, salt the water (add 1 teaspoon salt for every 4 cups of water.) Then reduce the heat to medium-low so potatoes are simmering (potatoes will cook at the same speed). Simmer for 12-17 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork (about 13-14 minutes for me).
  • FINISHING POTATOES: Meanwhile, set up an ice bath. Add cold water to a large bowl filled with ice. Drain the potatoes and immediately add them to the ice bath. Once cooled, drain thoroughly and transfer to a cutting board. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized (1-inch) chunks and add to a large bowl. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar over potatoes and add a pinch of salt. Toss and set aside.
  • DRESSING: In a medium-sized bowl, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, mayo, sour cream, pickle relish, yellow mustard, celery seed, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk until smooth and combined.
  • ASSEMBLY: Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs (See Note 2), finely chop the celery, the pickles, and the sweet onion. Add to the large bowl with the potatoes. Pour the dressing over everything and gently stir to combine. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before eating. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon gold or new), scrubbed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes all work well in this dish. For a creamier dressing, use more Yukon Gold potatoes. For a firmer dressing, use more russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender: This will ensure that they are cooked through but not mushy.
  • Reserve some of the potato cooking water: This will help to thin out the dressing if it becomes too thick.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to your dressing, such as crumbled bacon, diced celery, chopped onion, or chopped hard-boiled eggs.
  • Make ahead: This dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

White potato dressing is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it creamy or firm, with or without add-ins, this dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give white potato dressing a try.
