KRISTINA'S POTATO SALAD



Kristina's Potato Salad image

From The New Moosewood Cookbook which was first published in the late 1970s. This is the most amazing & delicious potato salad I've ever eaten, worth the price of the cookbook for this dish alone. Easily makes a full meal. Cooking time is actually minimum chilling time. UPDATE: If you're just looking for a traditional potatoes-boiled eggs-mayo salad, this is not the one for you.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD



Perfect Potato Salad image

This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.

Time 15h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 pounds large russet potatoes
¼ cup kosher salt
10 cups cold water
½ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons finely diced sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives for garnish
1 pinch paprika for garnish
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise, or more if needed
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
  • When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
  • Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.
