Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
8 slices center cut bacon, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 carrot, peeled then thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler, then chopped into bits

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape better when cooked and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. You can also roast or steam the potatoes, but boiling is the most common method.
  • Use fresh leeks: Leeks can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores. Choose leeks that are firm and have no signs of wilting.
  • Clean the leeks thoroughly: Leeks can be quite dirty, so it's important to clean them thoroughly before using them. Cut off the root end and dark green leaves, then slit the leek lengthwise and rinse it under running water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing will weigh it down and make it soggy.

Conclusion:

Tangy Potato and Leek Salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The tangy dressing and the crisp-tender potatoes and leeks make this salad a real crowd-pleaser.
