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.

THE BEST VEGETABLE SALAD

This is a refreshing salad using all different kinds of vegetables. You can use whatever you like, but the main things that makes it good are the tomatoes and cucumbers. It is much like an Israeli salad. The homemade dressing is very good on it, but so is just plain olive oil.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the vegetables, as this can make them mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Some good options include cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, and radishes.
  • Add some herbs or spices: This will help to brighten up the flavor of the salad. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, basil, or oregano.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the vegetables. A good option is a vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and a touch of honey or mustard.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Vegetable salads are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Sour cream vegetable salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and nutritious salad that will be enjoyed by everyone at your table.
