CLASSIC POTATO SALAD



Classic Potato Salad image

The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Provided by Millie Peartree

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings (2 1/2 quarts)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds russet, Yukon Gold or Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced small
2 celery stalks (optional)
Sweet paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
  • As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
  • Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

TZATZIKI POTATO SALAD



Tzatziki Potato Salad image

Tzatziki, the classic Greek combination of garlic, yogurt and cucumber, is incredibly versatile and often served with grilled meat, gyros, roasted vegetables or simply flatbread. Here, it is the sauce for a fresh potato salad. Opt for a waxy potato, such as red, new or fingerlings, as these varieties contain the least starch and will retain their shape when boiled. (All-purpose Yukon Golds work, too.) The potatoes are left unpeeled for texture, but peel them if you prefer, and make sure they are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking. The tzatziki benefits from resting for at least 10 to 15 minutes before being added to the potatoes, so prepare it before you start the potatoes, or better yet, make it the night before and let it hang out in the fridge so the flavors can get to know one another. A little honey lends a floral, subtle sweetness, but omit it if you want this dish to be purely savory.

Categories     dinner, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Persian or mini cucumbers, coarsely grated
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons honey, plus more as needed (optional)
1 garlic clove, grated
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 1/2 pounds small red, new or fingerling potatoes, washed and halved (or cut into 1-inch pieces, if large)
3 Persian or mini cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/3 cup black olives, such as Kalamata or oil-cured, pitted, and torn in half if large
1/4 cup chopped dill
1/4 cup chopped mint
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • To make the tzatziki, place grated cucumber in a colander over the sink and squeeze vigorously to remove any excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings; it should be tart, savory and a little sweet. Add more salt, pepper, honey and lemon juice accordingly; set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and simmer over medium-high for 12 to 15 minutes until just tender. Drain and allow to cool for 8 to 10 minutes until they are just warm to the touch.
  • Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes with the tzatziki, sliced cucumbers, olives, dill and mint; season generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze the lemon on top and serve. Store leftovers in a covered container, chilled, for 1 to 2 days.

GERMAN TATER TOT® POTATO SALAD



German Tater Tot® Potato Salad image

While this recipe may upset a few Germans, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Tossed with a warm bacon dressing and made easy with crispy, crunchy, frozen potato nuggets, this take on a German potato salad makes an already easy recipe even easier. If you're a fan of Tater Tots®, you'll find this salad to be spectacular in taste, texture, and appearance. Plus, there's no peeling, slicing, or boiling necessary!

Provided by Chef John

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

canola oil cooking spray
1 (28 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cover a sheet pan with foil, and spray generously with cooking spray.
  • Spread frozen potato nuggets evenly on the prepared pan, then spray the tops with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until well browned and extra crispy, 40 to 45 minutes. Please note, this will be about 10 to 15 minutes longer than the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, prepare dressing: Place bacon in a cold, dry pan. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until fat has rendered, and bacon is foamy and almost crisp. Reduce heat to medium and toss in diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften and turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in sugar, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until sugar just starts to caramelize onto the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan by stirring in apple cider vinegar and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits. Turn off the heat.
  • Remove Tater Tots® from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a large mixing bowl. Pour warm bacon dressing over top and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated. Mix in parsley and chives. Taste and adjust for salt before serving.
