Best 9 Green Olive Creamy Potato Salad Recipes

GREEN OLIVE AND EGG POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large stock-pot, add potatoes and cover with cold water filling to 2 inches (5 cm) above potatoes. Add 3/4 Tbs sea salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for between 8-15 minutes. Butterball potatoes take about 8-9 minutes and Youkon Gold take about 10-12 minutes to cook. Simmer until just fork tender, but not mushy. Drain.
• Transfer the potatoes into a large mixing bowl and add 2 Tbs of apple cider vinegar. Gently stir to incorporate the vinegar. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, in a small sauce-pan, add the whole eggs and cover with 2 inches (5 cm) of water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and put lid on. Set aside and set timer for 12 minutes.
• Drain eggs, place in a small bowl, cover with cold water and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Peel eggs, dice/chop leaving large chunks if desired and place in large bowl with potatoes. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sea salt, pepper and 1/4 tsp smoky paprika. Set aside.
• Into the large mixing bowl with the potatoes and eggs, add the purple onion, bell pepper, celery, parsley and olives. Pour the dressing over the veggies and gently stir to mix. Taste for mayonnaise and salt adjustment and add plenty of fresh ground pepper to taste. Store in the refrigerator for at least an hour prior to serving. Flavor development improves as the salad chills in the fridge. Before serving, I like to let it set at room temperature for 30 minutes to take the chill off. Spoon onto a serving dish/bowl, sprinkle with remaining paprika and garnish with whole olives and remaining chopped parsley.
• Store for up to four days in the refrigerator. It gets a little watery as it sets, so be sure to stir well prior to serving.

ANITA'S GREEN OLIVE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in jacket and set aside to cool -- when cooled, peel skins off and chop in a big bowl. Boil Eggs - put eggs in cold water and bring pot to a boil - once the pot comes to a good boil, turn off heat and leave the pot on the burner - put a lid on pot after you turn off fire. Let the pot side on the burner for 20 minutes and the eggs should be done just right. Add ice cubes to water. This will allow you to peel shells from eggs easily, without sticking. Cut up cooled potatoes in a big bowl, add the chopped hardboiled eggs, sliced olives, garlic salt to taste and 2-3 cups of Kraft real mayonnaise (to taste). Mix Well -- serve immediately or cover and keep in refrigerator until ready to eat.
