Trisha Yearwoods Potato Salad Recipes

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the dressing: Put the bacon into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and line a plate with paper towels. Cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to the lined plate and transfer the bacon fat to a small mixing bowl. Add the mustard, sugar and vinegar to the warm fat and squeeze in the juice from the lemon half. Whisk to combine and season with black pepper. Set aside in a warm place.
• For the potatoes: Preheat the grill over medium heat.
• Place the potatoes in an even layer in a microwave-safe baking dish. Pour in 1/4 cup water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Steam the potatoes in the microwave on high power until just slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the potatoes and discard any water that remains.
• Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the whole scallions. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to evenly coat in the oil.
• Place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down. Grill the potatoes until tender and caramelized, 7 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, place the scallions on the coolest area of the grill and cook, watching them closely to prevent charring, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove the scallions from the grill and set aside. Remove the potatoes from the grill and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the grilled scallions into 1-inch pieces and place in the bowl with the potatoes. Crumble the cooked bacon into the bowl. Add the parsley and some sea salt and drizzle generously with the warm bacon dressing, then toss to coat.

AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Peel the avocados, cut into 1-inch chunks and put all but 2 chunks into a large mixing bowl for the salad. Put the remaining 2 chunks into a small mixing bowl and set aside for the dressing.
• Add the parsley, cucumber and onion to the avocado chunks in the large mixing bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• For the dressing: Mash the reserved 2 chunks of avocado with a fork until smooth. Add the oil, honey, cumin and lime juice and whisk until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the avocado salad and gently toss with your hands to combine. Serve immediately.

CHOW CHOW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
• To the same saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, turmeric, black pepper and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Add the cabbage, cauliflower and bell peppers and return the mixture to a boil. Add the potatoes back to the saucepan and toss to combine. Transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to serve.

SMASHED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Gently smash with a fork or potato masher.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the oil, parsley, mustard, vinegar, shallots and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and gently combine. Serve at room temperature.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a Dutch oven. Add 2 tsp. salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. Boil the potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes (time will depend on size of potatoes), or until they are tender when pierced with the point of a knife but hold their shape. Drain the potatoes, transfer them to a large mixing bowl, and allow them to cool completely. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, and sweet relish. Gently fold to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, scallions, bell pepper, chives, orange zest, vinegar and hot sauce. Add the cooled potatoes to the mixture and toss gently until fully coated. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate and serve chilled.

• While the potatoes are cooling, in a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, scallions, red pepper, chives, orange zest, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Add the cooled potatoes to the mixture, and toss until the potatoes are fully coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Best served chilled.

POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add the salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. Boil the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with the point of a knife but hold their shape (do not overcook), about 30 minutes.

CHEESY HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a small saucepot, bring the butter, oil and garlic to a boil over high heat; remove from the heat.
• Using 2 wooden spoons placed on each side of a potato as a guide, cut the potato into thin slices about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, without cutting through the bottom (the spoons will keep you from cutting all the way through the potato). Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and brush each potato with some of the butter mixture, trying to get the butter between the slices. Sprinkle each potato with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the potatoes from the oven. The potatoes will have started to spread out from cooking and it will be easier to brush each slice with some more of the butter mixture. Put the potatoes back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven again and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and into the slices. Return to the oven to melt and brown the cheese, an additional 5 minutes. Serve the potatoes immediately.
