SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO SALAD



Sour Cream and Onion Potato Salad image

Provided by Elena Besser

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, boiled in salted water, then quartered
2 bunches scallions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus up to 1 tablespoon more, if needed
1 lemon
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch chives, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet, add the scallions, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and cook over high heat on each side until charred and soft, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Chop the cooked scallions and place them in a medium bowl. Grate the clove of garlic over the scallions. The heat from the scallions will mellow out the garlic.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the quartered potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing the potatoes every 2 minutes to make sure they brown on all sides, for 7 to 10 minutes total.
  • While the potatoes are browning, remove the rind of the lemon with a vegetable peeler, making sure to leave out the white pith of the lemon peel. Finely mince the lemon zest and reserve for garnish.
  • Combine 3/4 cup of the sour cream, the juice of the lemon and half of the chopped bunch of chives in a small bowl.
  • For the dressing, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of the sour cream with the white wine vinegar and charred-scallion-and-garlic mixture in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stream in 1/4 cup of the olive oil, whisking continuously to create a creamy relish-like dressing.
  • Add the crispy potatoes to the dressing and toss to coat.
  • Spread the lemony sour-cream-and-chives mixture on a large plate, place the dressed potatoes on top and garnish with the remaining half bunch of chopped chives and the lemon zest and Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO SALAD



Sour Cream and Onion Potato Salad image

Some would call showering potato salad with potato chips "gilding the lily." We would call it "extremely sensible and incredibly tasty."

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup kosher salt, plus more
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. onion powder
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 bunch chives, thinly sliced, divided
¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced through root end
½ cup sour cream and onion potato chips

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in 3 qt. water to cover. Add 1 cup salt and bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. (Yes, this is a lot of salt, but it's the right amount to ensure potatoes are seasoned through and through.) Reduce heat and simmer, adjusting heat as needed, until potatoes until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Scoop out ½ cup potato cooking liquid and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Add garlic and half of chives and mix just to incorporate.
  • Place red onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse for several seconds to take away some of its raw bite. Pat dry with paper towels. Mix half of onion into dressing; set aside remaining onion for serving.
  • Working one at a time, set potatoes on a flat surface and crush slightly with the palm of your hand. Add to bowl with dressing along with ¼ cup potato cooking liquid. Do this while the potatoes are still warm so that they can absorb all of the seasoning. Don't worry if the dressing looks a little loose and watery at the beginning-it will all get absorbed and become creamier as it sits. Taste and season with more salt or, if your dressing looks too thick, a splash of potato cooking liquid.
  • Top potatoes with remaining chives and reserved onion and crumble potato chips over.

SOUR CREAM & HORSERADISH POTATO SALAD



Sour Cream & Horseradish Potato Salad image

I keep this recipe in a bunch of my favorite hand-written recipes. It says it came from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, although I can't find it there now. In any event, this is the only way I fix potato salad. It has a more tangy flavor than most potato salads (even with no pickles!) and it's wonderful when served with anything barbequed. Cook time is cooking and chilling time.
