Yukon Gold Potato Salad Recipes

YUKON GOLD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a large pot of salted water; bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; let cool.
• Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and dill; season with salt and pepper. Peel potatoes; cut into 1-inch chunks. Fold into mayonnaise mixture. Fold in celery, onion, scallions, and eggs (reserving some scallions for garnish). Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and eggs into a big saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a simmer. After 12 minutes remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let cool. Continue cooking the potatoes until a paring knife poked into them goes in without resistance, about 3 minutes longer. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool.
• Reserve some scallion greens and capers for garnish. Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and their juice, onion, remaining scallions and capers, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl large enough to hold the potatoes. Peel the cool eggs and grate them into the bowl. Stick a fork into the potatoes and lift them 1 at a time out of the colander. Break up the potatoes by hand into rough chunks, add them to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

BONNIE'S YUKON GOLD DILL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. MAKE THE HERB VINEGAR first: Add the 1/4 cup white wine vinegar and the 1 tablespoons of dill weed to a one-cup glass measuring cup and microwave one minute, remove and let cool and steep while you peel the potatoes and get them ready to boil. MAKE AN HERB SACHET: Take a coffee filter and place 3 tablespoons dill weed in it and tie it with a kitchen string. Peel and cut potatoes into 3/4 inch pieces and cover with water, and add one tablespoon of salt and the herb sachet. Bring the potatoes to a boil, cook until tender but not overcooked. Drain thoroughly. Discard the sachet. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
• 2. MEASURE AND ADD HERB VINEGAR: Add 2 tablespoons of the herb vinegar and reserve the rest for later. Drizzle it evenly over the hot potatoes and stir gently until covered. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes, stir once more during that time.
• 3. MAKE THE DRESSING: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, the rest of the dill and vinegar mixture, mustard, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate. Chop the scallions thin, set aside.
• 4. ADD DRESSING TO POTATOES: When the potatoes have cooled, add the dressing, stir in the scallions and the reserved herb vinegar. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend, about 30 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. This is how it looks when finished. Enjoy!

YUKON GOLD POTATO SALAD WITH CHERRY PEPPERS AND SWEET RELISH VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the potato salad: Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Season the water liberally with kosher salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over medium/low heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until tossed with the vinaigrette.
• For the sweet relish vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, relish, capers and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the potatoes, parsley, red onions, cherry peppers and chives to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Toss to coat, adding additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or keep covered in the refrigerator up to overnight and toss again before serving.
