LIGHT POTATO SALAD



Light Potato Salad image

I know the potato salad I suggest is in culinary terms very un-American. I resolutely believe, however, that potatoes are so much better dressed in oil and vinegar (but it must be good wine vinegar) than blanketed in mayonnaise.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt
5 pounds new potatoes, creamers or other small (1-inch to 1 1/2-inch diameter) potatoes
6 scallions, thinly sliced into rings
2 tablespoons garlic-infused oil
10 slices ( 1/2 pound) bacon
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup good-quality white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a large wide pan of salted water to a boil, and add potatoes. Boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes, cut in two, and place in a large bowl. Add scallions, and toss gently to mix.
  • Return dry potato pan to medium heat, and add garlic oil and bacon. Cook bacon until very crisp, and transfer to paper towels.
  • Add mustard seeds to bacon fat in pan. After a few moments, they will begin to pop. Immediately turn off heat, and add vinegar and potato mixture. Toss together, then transfer back into bowl.
  • Cover salad with plastic wrap, and allow to rest at room temperature for about an hour. To serve, transfer to a serving bowl, and crumble crispy bacon on top.

LIGHT SUMMER POTATO SALAD - LEICHTER KARTOFFELSALAT



Light Summer Potato Salad - Leichter Kartoffelsalat image

Years ago, my German step-Grandmother gave me a book of German cooking. This is from that book, which was published in 1969. "Light" in this case has managed to hold up for 40 odd years. I changed the original recipe to include veggie stock instead of chicken, and added some fresh chives to the finished salad for a little extra colour. Update: After making it for the first time, I found there was far too much salt put in at a time when there is no going back...so I adjusted that down. Also adjusted down the amount of olive oil (orig called for 1/3 cup), and added some additional directions regarding the potatoes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium potatoes (boiling potatoes, waxy like yukons or red)
1 medium onion, finely diced
2/3 cup vegetable stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons mustard (ideally Dusseldorf style or hot)
1/2-1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 -2 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the potatoes by scrubbing them clean, but not peeling. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil, drop the potatoes in - there should be enough water to cover them. Boil them briskly until they show only the slightest resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. (about 20 minutes). You don't want to overcook them or you won't be able to slice them. TEST - take out your largest potato and cut it in half lengthwise, check for doneness.
  • Drain the potatoes -- let them cool enough to handle them, then peel (use fingers or gently use knife, cut out brown bits as you go). Cut each in half lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch slices. Set the slices aside in a bowl and cover tightly. There will be a small amount of carry-over cooking here.
  • In a heavy pot combine the diced onion, veggie stock, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occassionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Pour the sauce over the potato slices. Coat evenly by turning with a spatula. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, mix in the fresh chives, adjust salt & pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, which hold their shape well in salads.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, then drain and cool them immediately to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is best. Avoid heavy dressings that will weigh down the salad.
  • Add fresh herbs and vegetables: Fresh herbs like dill, chives, and parsley add flavor and color to the salad. Vegetables like celery, onion, and radishes add crunch and texture.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
