Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds total (12 to 15 of each) red and white small potatoes
Salt
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or sour cream
1 teaspoon celery seeds
Freshly ground pepper

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, creme fraiche, and celery seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

HEALTHIER POTATO SALAD

Swap most of the mayo for yogurt and crème frâiche and cut the fat of classic new potato salad by almost two thirds

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Buffet, Lunch, Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

750g Charlotte new potato , skins left on
2 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise (we used Hellmann's)
3 tbsp natural yogurt
3 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
8 spring onions , ends trimmed, halved lengthways and sliced
3 tbsp snipped chive
1 tbsp chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into 2.5-3cm chunks (step 1), so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly. Put them in a pan of boiling water. Once the water has returned to the boil, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 10 mins or until just cooked and still keeping their shape. Tip them into a colander to drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, crème fraîche, mustard and milk. Add the spring onions, then most of the chives and tarragon to the potatoes (step 2). Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Spoon the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm (step 3), then toss gently together so that they are well coated but don't break up. Tip the potato salad into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chives and tarragon. Serve cold - but the flavour is best if not served straight from the fridge.

POTATO SALAD WITH FRENCH DRESSING



Potato Salad With French Dressing image

This is my favorite potato salad now. This recipe came from Naomi Judd's cookbook. I don't use the hard boiled eggs because I don't care for them in my potato salad and I cut back on the mayonnaise,onion, pickle relish and leave out the mustard....you can adjust things to your own taste because what really makes this potato salad is the French dressing. Here is the recipe as it appears in Naomi Judd's cookbook

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING



Roasted Potato Salad With Jalapeño-Avocado Dressing image

As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds small russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic or onion powder (optional)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 lime, halved
Handful of dill leaves
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup vegan or regular mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 to 2 jalapeños, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
  • Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
  • To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality brand that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some herbs and spices to the dressing: This will give the salad more flavor. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: You can add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped celery, carrots, or peas.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled, so make sure to let it cool down in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious potato salad that everyone will enjoy.
