Categories     side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 to 2 large eggs (optional)
3 medium Idaho (russet) potatoes - around 2 to 2 1/2 pounds
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 to 4 green onions, chopped (white, light green and some dark green part)
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
6 medium to large radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced and cut in half if large
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons yellow mustard (French's works well) - see Note
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cover eggs with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes (cook for longer time if at higher altitude). Remove from heat and leave eggs in hot water for another 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and run eggs under cold water until cooled. Peel and chop eggs; place in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just fork-tender (do not overcook or your salad will be mushy!). Drain the water from the pan and return pan to the heat. Shake the potatoes constantly over medium heat about 1 minute or until dry. Let cool enough to handle then peel and cut into bite-size chunks. Transfer to a large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Pour over potatoes and toss carefully, making sure not to mash them. Place potatoes in the refrigerator, uncovered, overnight.
  • Take the potatoes out of the refrigerator and add the reserved chopped eggs, cucumbers, radishes and green onion; toss gently. Add enough mayonnaise to moisten the salad and toss well. Add the mustard to taste; toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Adjust seasonings before serving, if necessary.

DOROTHY LYNCH® STYLE SALAD DRESSING



Dorothy Lynch® Style Salad Dressing image

This is my husband's favorite dressing, and it is the best dressing to use in taco salad. The original dressing was made in St. Paul, Nebraska and is sold in the midwest but is becoming more expensive. This recipe is very similar to the store version and uses products I regularly have in my pantry. We love it.

½ cup vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seeds
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed

Tips:

  • Use Waxy Potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad. They are less likely to fall apart when cooked and tossed with the dressing.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and break down easily.
  • Cool Potatoes Completely: Allow the potatoes to cool completely before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients will make your potato salad taste more vibrant and delicious.
  • Adjust Dressing to Your Liking: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You can add more mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, or herbs until you reach the desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Dorothy's potato salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and flavorful add-ins, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. Follow these tips and you'll be able to make a delicious potato salad that will impress your friends and family. Remember, the key to a great potato salad is using the right type of potatoes, cooking them properly, and using fresh ingredients.
