SUPER-ZESTY POTATO SALAD

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.

Zesty Red Potato Salad: A Summertime Delight

Tips for Making the Perfect Zesty Red Potato Salad:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select small, firm red potatoes that hold their shape well when cooked. Avoid large, starchy potatoes, as they tend to fall apart easily.
  • Boil the Potatoes Just Right: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the potatoes. Cook until tender but still slightly firm, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Use a Light Hand When Dressing the Salad: The key to a great potato salad is to use a light touch when adding the dressing. Too much dressing can overpower the potatoes and make the salad soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Add Some Crunch: For added texture and flavor, add some chopped celery, onion, and red bell pepper to the salad. You can also add some chopped hard-boiled eggs or crumbled bacon for a protein boost.
  • Chill Before Serving: After dressing the salad, cover it and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Zesty red potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With its vibrant colors and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give this zesty red potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
