Linzer And A Perfect Potato Salad Recipes

PERFECT POTLUCK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
• Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
• While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
• Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
• Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
• When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
• Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and chop.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, relish, garlic salt, celery salt, mustard, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.

LINZER, AND A PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Long, pale, and slim, the Linzer Delikatess is as elegant as a tuber could be. I found this Austrian variety at my usual market on a wet day in early July, and brought them home out of curiosity. The flesh was waxy and yellow, and held together well in salted boiling water. They were tender to the knife in ten minutes. Potatoes that keep their shape well in water tend to hold up when saturated with dressing, making them good for potato salads-in this case, a salad dressed with thick Spanish oil, mustard, and dill and tossed with chunks of peeled cucumber. We ate it with a fat, golden-skinned mackerel, smoked that morning by the fishmonger.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in halves or thirds, then boil until fork tender. Drain. Mash the potatoes or run them through a ricer or food mill to make them extra fluffy.
• Fold the potatoes together with the mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, dill, salt, pepper, paprika and other seasonings you like. Fold in the pickles, pickle juice and eggs, and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, mustard or mayo as needed.

POTATO SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Steam potato slices just until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Drizzle with vinegar and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat. Cool to room temperature.
• Combine next 5 ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend. Pour dressing over cooled potatoes. Add red peppers. Toss gently to mix. Season potato salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

NEXT LEVEL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until tender to the tip of a knife.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil and chopped shallot together with a good pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel if you prefer, then halve, quarter or cut them into bite-sized chunks if large, then toss in the mustard dressing until completely coated. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, soured cream, lemon juice and horseradish together. When the potatoes are cool, toss them through the mayonnaise mixture along with the spring onions. Tip into a dish and scatter with the crispy onions just before serving, or serve the crispy onions on the side for sprinkling over at the table.
