SEVEN LAYER POTATO SALAD



Seven Layer Potato Salad image

A new twist on the old favorite Seven Layer Salad, based on potato salad rather than the usual iceberg lettuce for something a bit more substantial. Bacon, eggs, peas, and cheese are traditional in a Seven Layer, but a little bite from radishes, onions, and a few surprise ingredients makes this one a little more interesting.

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mayonnaise
2 -3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
2 minced garlic cloves
salt and pepper
12 slices bacon
2 lbs tiny new potatoes
2 cups sweet peas (fresh or frozen)
1 small sweet onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1/2 cup sliced red radish
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix dressing ingredients together, refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cook bacon crisp, crumble, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut potatoes in halves or quarters to get bite sized pieces. Boil in well salted water until fork tender. Allow to cool slightly, and mix with half of the dressing.
  • Hard boil eggs, allow to cool, remove shells.
  • Assemble the salad in a trifle dish or other clear straight sided bowl. Place potatoes on bottom, followed by peas, bacon, onions, the other half of the dressing, cheese, sliced or crumbled eggs, and radishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or Yukon Gold hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy, so cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. You can boil, steam, or roast the potatoes, depending on your preference.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: Avoid using Miracle Whip or salad dressing, as they will not give you the same rich flavor as mayonnaise.
  • Add your favorite ingredients: Feel free to customize the salad to your liking by adding vegetables, herbs, or spices. Some popular additions include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and dill.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Seven-layer potato salad is a classic dish that's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With its creamy, tangy dressing and variety of textures, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you follow the classic recipe or customize it to your liking, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and versatile salad.
