Alton Browns Red Potato Salad Recipes

RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then let cool slightly and cut in half or quarters (depending on the size of the potatoes). Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add the celery, dill, and cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to combine. Top with crispy bacon right before serving.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with cold water and place over medium heat. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and remove lid. Gently simmer until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and place into an ice bath to cool. Remove skin by rubbing with a tea towel. Slice potatoes into rounds or cut into large dice and place into a zip top bag. Add the vinegar and toss to coat all of the potatoes. Place the bag into the refrigerator overnight.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, tarragon, garlic, cornichons, onions, and celery. Once evenly combined, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
