Texas De Brazil Potato Salad Recipes

SOUTHERN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and chop the potatoes to 1/2 inch size cubes. Add the potatoes to a large pot. Cover with water and heat over medium heat to a boil. Sprinkle in about 1 tsp of salt.
• Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and rinse under cold water. Add potatoes back into the empty pot and place back on stovetop. The warm pot helps dry off the potatoes.
• In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the dressing: mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt and pepper.
• After potatoes have cooled about 20 minutes, add them to a large bowl. Dice the hardboiled egg and add to the bowl with the potatoes.
• Spoon the dressing over the potatoes, and gently stir to mix and coat the potatoes in the dressing.
• Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD (WITH MAYONNAISE)

Steps:

• To make the best potato salad with mayo, place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by at least 1-2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add a good pinch of salt, and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain in a colander but do not rinse them.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with vinegar. Set aside and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl combine mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste, lime juice, garlic, grated onion, chopped olives (green olives are usually used in this dish although I used Kalamata olives for mine), mint, cilantro (or parsley), and green onions. If desired, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs (in this case, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of mayo into the mixture).
• Add cool potatoes to the mayo mixture, stirring gently to combine. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours (or more) before serving.
• Garnish top of the Brazilian potato salad with whole olives and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

TEXAS-STYLE POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD AND PICKLED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar and salt dissolves, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Add the onions and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Drain the onions through a strainer into a bowl and reserve the pickling liquid.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until a knife inserted into the center of the potatoes meets with no resistance. Drain the potatoes well, let cool slightly (but not all the way) and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Transfer the warm potatoes to a large bowl. Add the eggs, pickled onions and red peppers. Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, a few tablespoons of the pickling liquid and season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing and parsley to the warm potatoes and gently mix to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature or cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and serve chilled.

• Cut potatoes in medium wedges and cook in salted water until done, but not smooshy soft.

• Meanwhile chop up celery and green onion.
• Once cooled add the mayonnaise,add celery and green onions, then shaved carrot stalk with a vegetable peeler, Stir until mixed but do not over stir or potatoes will become mushy.

• In a small bowl, stir together the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise and green onion. Cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend flavors.
• Wrap bacon in paper towels and place on a plate. Cook in the microwave until crisp, about 15 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. Cool.
