I have only found my favorite potato salad in delicatessens in New York City and Long Island and in some Italian and Jewish delis elsewhere. After much searching, a friend on Long Island sent me this recipe which comes as close to perfection as any I've tried. The recipe may be cut down as the quantities are for a party.

NEW YORK DELI STYLE POTATO SALAD

When I moved down South, after living in New York for 35 years, I could no longer find a "deli" style potato salad I liked. I like a simple vinegar based salad with just a small amount of finely diced onion. Common in most Deli's on Long Island, NY. I have tweaked a few recipe's I found on recipezaar and below seems to be the best. I'm famous for cooking my potatos too long, so cook them till you think they're done! I like to use a new potato and tried it with those dutch baby yellow potatos last night. Yummy!

JOHN'S NEW YORK DELI-STYLE POTATO SALAD RECIPE - (4/5)



John's New York Deli-Style Potato Salad Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-4792

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds red potatoes, boiled
1/2 cup carrots
1/4 cup curly parsley, fresh
1 cup Hellman's mayo
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a big pot of water. Turn up the heat to high! Cook them to perfection in boiling water. Don't over cook (they will be too mushy). Don't under cook. I can't give you an exact time but start checking after 20 minutes. You just need to use your fork and your cooking instincts. Peeling: You can peel them before boiling but it's easier to pull off the skins after cooking. Tip : Let them cool, first! After cooking, drain well and let them cool down. After a spell, chill in the fridge until they are cold. During the cooling off period grate ½ cup of carrots and ¼ cup of minced curly parsley. Take the cool potatoes and slice them thin. (About a quarter of an inch or so) Place sliced potatoes in a giant mixing bowl and add the mayo, white vinegar, sugar, salt, carrots and parley too. Gently mix it up with a big 'ole spoon. Adjust to taste. Chill, may be eaten it within 3 days preparing.

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.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mixed with the dressing.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding the dressing: This will help prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: A mayonnaise-based dressing is the classic choice for potato salad, but you can also use a vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the potato salad, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or cheese.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the potato salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the potato salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

New York potato salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best New York potato salad that will be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
