SUPER-ZESTY POTATO SALAD



Super-Zesty Potato Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups neutral-flavored oil (such as vegetable, canola or peanut)
2 1/2 pounds small red bliss potatoes, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Make the mayonnaise: Put the egg yolks in a food processor and add the vinegar, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn on the machine and very slowly start to drizzle in the oil (drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then you can start adding it in a slow, steady stream). If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a few drops of water; if it is not thick enough, add a little more oil with the motor running.
  • Make the salad: Put the potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the onion, celery and vinegar. Season with salt.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (discard the garlic). Add the bacon-onion mixture to the hot potatoes and stir to incorporate. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise and the mustard and season with salt. Refrigerate until cold.

CREAMY DIJON-DILL POTATO SALAD



Creamy Dijon-Dill Potato Salad image

I guess I'm sticking to the classic salads for my BBQ, and there's nothing more classic BBQ than a good home-style potato salad. Mine is rich in flavor, but still light and fresh, thanks in large part to the dill and lemon juice. The vibrant green dill also does wonders for the look of the salad. There's nothing worse than mushy, mealy potatoes, so make sure to start your spuds off in cold water and to cook them whole.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 stalks celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup tightly packed chopped fresh dill
1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon grainy or regular Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a big pot with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Season with salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cooling them in the warm pot will get rid of any excess water in the potatoes, and that's good.)
  • Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then across into 1/4-inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
  • When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. You can make the salad up to a couple of hours in advance. Keep covered at room temperature. Don't refrigerate or the potatoes will lose their rich, smooth texture.

Tips:

  • For a classic potato salad, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. Warm potatoes will absorb the dressing and make the salad runny.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the dressing. Over-mixing will break up the potatoes.
  • For a tangy dressing, use a combination of Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and vinegar. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to taste.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a versatile side dish that can be served with grilled meats, fish, or poultry. It is also a popular dish for picnics and potlucks. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
