Best 5 Purple Potato Salad Recipes

PURPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until fork tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain, then rinse in cold water, and cut in quarters. Place the warm potatoes in a large bowl and toss with onion, celery, dill, and parsley. In another bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, celery seed, cayenne, vinegar, and lemon. Check seasoning. Add the dressing to the vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat taking care not to mash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

ECUADOREAN CORN AND PURPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the snow peas into thirds. Grate the carrots. Dice the celery. Chop the hardboiled eggs.
• Mix the olive oil, lime juice, pineapple juice, chili powder, salt and pepper in a jar. Shake well to blend. Set aside.
• Scrub the potatoes and pierce with a fork. Arrange in a circle in a microwave. Cook on high 4 minutes. Turn potatoes over and microwave another 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave and wrap in a towel.
• Place corn and snow peas in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high 2-3 minutes, or until peas turn bright green. Stir in carrots, celery, and pineapple and let cool to lukewarm. Mix with half of the prepared dressing; refrigerate.
• To serve, arrange lettuce on 4 plates. Peel and slice potatoes; arrange in a circle at the outer edges of the lettuce. Place the corn mixture in the center of the lettuce. Sprinkle with chopped eggs and parsley. Drizzle all with remaining dressing.

HARICOT VERT, EDAMAME, AND PURPLE-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Boil edamame or fava beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water. Shell edamame, or peel tough outer skins from fava beans.
• Bring potatoes and enough salted water to cover by 1 1/2 inches to a boil and cook at a bare simmer until almost tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Potatoes will continue to cook a bit after being removed from water. Be careful not to overcook or potatoes will break apart when sliced.) Transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water to cool. Drain well.
• While potatoes are cooking, trim haricots verts and halve diagonally crosswise. Cook in 2 batches in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes (regular green beans will take longer to cook). Transfer to ice water to cool. Drain well.
• Just before serving, cut potatoes into 1/3-inch-thick slices and toss all ingredients together in a large bowl with salt and pepper to taste.

STEAK & PURPLE-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Mix lime juice, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and garlic in a small bowl to form a paste; rub onto both sides of steak. Refrigerate the steak. 2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain, let cool for 10 minutes, then quarter. 3. While the potatoes cool, preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tip) or pan. Grill the steak, turning once, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, about 10 minutes total on the grill or 16 to 20 minutes in a grill pan. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. 4. Whisk vinegar, oil, cumin, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the steak and any accumulated juices, the potatoes, radishes, scallions and cilantro; gently toss to coat.
