A recipe from an old Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook. The french dressing and the sour cream put a nice tang to this version of potato salad. I have included the 1 hour resting time for the potatoes in the cooking time.

Provided by Chrissyo

Categories     Potato

Time 1h35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs potatoes
3/4 cup French dressing
3/4 cup sliced celery

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
3/4 cup diced deseeded cucumber (scoop out the seeds in the cucumber with a spoon)

Steps:

  • You can either leave the skin (jackets) on the new potatoes or peel the skin off the new potates when cooked, if desired.
  • I prefer to leave the skin (jackets) on the new potatoes.
  • Slice potatoes into large dice while still warm.
  • Put the warm potatoes into a bowl, pour the french dressing immediately over the warm potatoes, toss gently to coat each potato piece with the dressing.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO SALAD



Sour Cream and Onion Potato Salad image

Some would call showering potato salad with potato chips "gilding the lily." We would call it "extremely sensible and incredibly tasty."

Provided by Molly Baz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Side     Picnic     Summer     Potluck     Potato Salad     Potato     Sour Cream     Onion     Chive     Mayonnaise     Mustard     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup kosher salt, plus more
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. onion powder
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 bunch chives, thinly sliced, divided
¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced through root end
½ cup sour cream and onion potato chips

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in 3 qt. water to cover. Add 1 cup salt and bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. (Yes, this is a lot of salt, but it's the right amount to ensure potatoes are seasoned through and through.) Reduce heat and simmer, adjusting heat as needed, until potatoes until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Scoop out ½ cup potato cooking liquid and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Add garlic and half of chives and mix just to incorporate.
  • Place red onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse for several seconds to take away some of its raw bite. Pat dry with paper towels. Mix half of onion into dressing; set aside remaining onion for serving.
  • Working one at a time, set potatoes on a flat surface and crush slightly with the palm of your hand. Add to bowl with dressing along with ¼ cup potato cooking liquid. Do this while the potatoes are still warm so that they can absorb all of the seasoning. Don't worry if the dressing looks a little loose and watery at the beginning-it will all get absorbed and become creamier as it sits. Taste and season with more salt or, if your dressing looks too thick, a splash of potato cooking liquid.
  • Top potatoes with remaining chives and reserved onion and crumble potato chips over.
