Do you know any good potato salad recipes?

Answer 1

I find that slicing up dill cucumbers very very finely and adding them to potato salad with a little bit of corn, green spring onions, parsley and boiled egg tastes fabulous. And remember that when it comes to potato salad full fat mayo will make all the difference between a good and a bad salad. German Potato Salad - my wife and I LOVE this recipe. Change to alter taste or servings. This recipe will serve about 6-8 people. Great for people who don't like mayo potato salad. * 8 medium potatoes, cubed * 1 large onion, chopped * 1 cup water * 2/3 cup cider vinegar * 1/3 cup white sugar * 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste) * 1 tablespoon pepper (or to taste) * 1 package of bacon strips, cooked and crumbled * 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (fresh is important) * 3 tablespoons of mustard (spicy brown is best) * 1/4 cup of bacon grease (reserved from cooking bacon) * 3 tablespoons white flour 1. Put potatoes in large pot of boiling water and cook until firm, but not mushy (or you'll get mashed potatoes!). 2. While the potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet or saucepan cook the bacon until crispy - drain on plate with paper towels to absorb extra fat (reserve 1/4 cup of grease/fat for salad). 3. In the same skillet pour in your water, apple cider vinegar, white sugar, salt, pepper, mustard, flour and onions. Cook on medium/medium high until sauce reduces and thickens. 4. While sauce is cooking and potatoes are finishing, chop up fresh parsley. 5. Drain potatoes onced cooked and put into container big enough to hold all materials. 6. Pour the hot vinegar sauce over the potatoes and throw in your parsley. Stir carefully. Serve either warm or cold. Will keep for about 2+ weeks! Mix together

4 cups boiled, peeled, cooled, cubed Russset potatoes

1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped

4 hard boiled eggs, whites only, chopped

Dressing:

MASH the yolks of three of the hard boiled eggs

Mix egg yolks into 2/3 cup cultured sour cream

Stir in 2 tbsp. cider vinegar, 1 tsp. prepared mustard,

1/2 tsp celery seeds, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1/3 cup

sweet pickle relish; salt and pepper to taste

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss

lightly. Peel and boil potatos just like you would for mashed potatos. Mash. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste and mix to smooth but stiff consistency with a whisk. Add chopped onion, pickle relish, and chopped boiled eggs to taste and mix. If you care to, add individual slices of boiled egg on top, as a garnish, before serving. This will likely be different from any potato salad you have ever eaten, but it's worth a try.

Ingredients: 5 lb. potatoes 1 small onion 1/2 stalk of celery Dozen hard boiled eggs Quart Hellmans Mayonaise Paprika Salt Pepper Boil and remove skins from potatoes (actually prefer leaving the skins on, but removing them makes the end result more appealing.) Cube potatoes as best as possible into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes and place into large bowl. Dice onion and celery very fine and toss with potatoes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon peper. Coarsely chop 10 of the eggs and toss with potato mixture. Toss into this about half of the mayonaise. Check personal preference to see if you would like more mayonaise. Add more until your preference is met. Slice remaining eggs and lay the slices on top of the bowl of salad. Sprinkle lightly with paprika. Chill and enjoy out on the deck with your Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

Exotic? Well -- different anyway --- try this... * 5 or 6 medium sized red potatoes * .5C Extra Virgin Olive Oil * 3TBSP Champagne Wine Vinegar * .5tsp Black Pepper freshly ground coarse. More to taste * .5C pitted Kalamata Olives. More if you like them. The moist ones. * 1TBSP freshly minced shallots * 1 Red Pepper, freshly roasted and skinned, seeded and cut into strips -- or -- 1 or 2 prepared roasted Red Peppers, cut into strips. Note -- these are sweet red peppers; not the hot kind. * 3 springs of fresh Thyme, thick stems removed -- only the leaves and very fine stems. * 3 Tbsp minced fresh chives (no chives? fake it with green onions). * 2Tbsp Capers (or to taste). * Romano or Parmesan Regiano to taste -- optional. * Kosher or Sea Salt to taste. 1. Rinse and quarter all potatoes. Fill a pot that can easily hold the potatoes with water, and 1Tbsp salt (really -- trust me) and boil. Add the potatoe quaters and cook until a fork easily pierces one all the way through. Drain potatoes and set aside to cool. This can be done 1 day in advance. 2. Prepare your mis en place: seed the olives if necessary, mince the shallots and chives, prep the thyme, grind the pepper. 3. Prepare the salad. In a large bowl, place the potatoes, well-dried. Add the capers, olives and red peppers. Mix well with your hands or a spoon -- try not to break up the potatoes. 4. Prepare the dressing: in a large bowl, add the vinegar, shallots, thyme, pepper, and kosher/sea salt. Slowly pour in the vinegar into the bowl, whisking all the time, to create a nice emulsion. Don't stop whisking. If it doesn't set, try adding just a little more olive oil. 5. Pour dressing over salad. Mix well, being careful not to break up the potatoes. Correct seasoning. 6. Serve on lettuce or endive. Garnish generously with the chives and with shavings of the cheese to taste.

Answer 3

Ingredients 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped 10 eggs 1 large onion, chopped 1 (24 ounce) jar sweet pickles, drained and chopped 2 cups mayonnaise Directions Place the potatoes in a large pan of water and boil over medium-low heat until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and place in the refrigerator to cool. Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water over medium heat, and bring to a full boil. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes. Cool the eggs thoroughly under cold running water and shell them. Chop the cooled eggs and place them in a large salad bowl. Stir the onion, sweet pickles, and mayonnaise into the eggs, and let the mixture chill in the refrigerator at least l/2 hour to blend the flavors. Mix in the chilled chopped potatoes, and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour. Serve cold.

Answer 4

You can find a good potato salad recipe at BBC good food, featuring ingredients such as Dijon mustard, shallots and terragon leaves. However a simpler alternative would be to boil the potatoes, put in spring onions, squeeze in lemon juice and add a large amount of mayonnaise.
