Grated potato salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is a popular choice for picnics, potlucks, and summer gatherings. Grated potato salad is made with grated potatoes, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs. Variations of the salad may include additional ingredients such as bacon, cheese, or pickles. The key to a great grated potato salad is using the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice because they hold their shape well when grated. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will break down more easily.

It is important to wring all excess moisture from potatoes to ensure a crisp pancake. If you are uncomfortable flipping the pancake, you may invert it onto a plate, and slide it back into the pan after adding the remaining oil.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 Idaho potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 teaspoons canola oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze tightly, removing all excess moisture.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 teaspoon canola oil. When very hot, add grated potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to press potatoes into a flat, round shape. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, shaking pan periodically, until pancake is nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip pancake, and add remaining teaspoon of oil, drizzling around the edges of pancake. Gently swirl pan to distribute oil. Season again with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until golden brown and crisp on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Transfer to a cutting board; cut into wedges. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the best potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are ideal for potato salad because they hold their shape well when cooked and retain a slight bite.
  • Cook the potatoes perfectly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy in the salad.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Add different vegetables, herbs, and seasonings to create a flavorful and visually appealing potato salad. Some popular additions include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, dill, and mustard. You also can use bacon, ham, or chicken for added protein.
  • Dress the salad properly: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of potato salad together. Use a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and seasonings to create a creamy, tangy dressing that coats the potatoes and vegetables evenly.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Potato salad is best served cold. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that can be enjoyed at picnics, potlucks, and BBQs. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a potato salad that everyone will love. Whether you like it simple or loaded with ingredients, creamy or tangy, potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
