Ham And Egg Potato Salad With Charred Scallions Recipes

MASHED POTATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pot of well-salted water until they are very tender but not mushy, 15 to 22 minutes. Drain well.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, pepper and hot sauce. When the salt is dissolved, whisk in the olive oil, mayonnaise and mustard.
• Add potatoes to the bowl and mix them very well, until well coated with dressing. Then use the spoon to mash about a quarter of them. You want 1-inch (or so) chunks of potatoes coated in some mashed potatoes. Add scallions and parsley and toss well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, hot sauce and olive oil, if needed. Scatter chopped basil or dill over dressed potatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature, but not cold.

TANGY POTATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a large pot. Fill with enough salted water to come just below basket. Bring to a boil; place potatoes in basket, and reduce heat to medium. Cover, and steam, gently tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine vinegar and scallions in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are cooked, transfer to bowl with vinegar mixture. Toss to combine; let cool, tossing occasionally.
• When potato mixture is cool, mix in oil; season potato salad with salt and pepper.

HAM & EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the hard-boiled eggs and remove the yolks to a bowl. Coarsely chop the egg whites and set aside.
• To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, smash the mixture until smooth. Add the reserved chopped egg whites, ham, shallot, and celery. Toss to combine. If you like a creamier texture, add more mayonnaise.

LITE HAM EGG AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to the boil and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
• Add eggs to the pot.
• Continue to boil the eggs and potatoes for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely cooked through. A skewer should pass easily through the centre of the potatoes.
• Allow to cool. The above can be done the night before and the eggs and potatoes refrigerated overnight.
• Start your char-grill or pan heating up, spray lightly with oil. A grill with a bit of charcoal or character is best, as it adds a more "barbequed" flavour to the ham.
• Meanwhile, dice the cooled boiled potatoes into 1cm cubes.
• Peel the boiled eggs and chop them lengthways in half and then cut each half across into slices. Add to potatoes.
• Finely chop and add the spring onions/scallions.
• Once the grill or pan is heated, add the ham steak and cook until heated through and a little charred.
• Remove the steak from heat and allow to cool, slightly. Dice into even cubes and add.
• In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add water until the dressing reaches the desirable consistency.
• Pour dressing over other ingredients, season with salt/pepper, toss and divide evenly onto plates.
• Serve with a lighter side salad such as cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and cucumber.

VEGAN POTATO SALAD WITH TAHINI

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the kind of potato. Drain very well.
• Heat the broiler. Arrange 1 bunch scallions on a sheet pan. Thinly slice the other bunch, reserving the slices for serving.
• Season the whole scallions in the pan with salt and pepper, and very lightly drizzle with olive oil. Broil until charred, tossing occasionally, for 3 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool. Coarsely chop scallions and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Let sit for 1 minute to mellow the garlic and dissolve the salt. Whisk in tahini, then gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time (about 3 to 6 tablespoons total), until the sauce thickens and is smooth enough to drizzle. The sauce can take 30 seconds to 1 minute to thicken so keep whisking; if it gets too thick, thin it down with a little more water. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt if needed.
• Transfer hot potatoes and charred scallions to bowl with tahini dressing. Drizzle in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and toss until potatoes are well coated. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.
• Let cool to room temperature for at least an hour before serving, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. The potatoes will absorb the dressing as they sit. Just before serving, taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed, and toss with the raw scallion slices and herbs.

HERBED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium pot, cover potatoes with 6 cups water. Add garlic, rosemary, parsley, and thyme sprigs, peppercorns, 1 tablespoon salt, and pinch of red-pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but not mushy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let potatoes cool in cooking liquid, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, place bacon on a baking sheet and cook until crisp, about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking liquid; drain potatoes and discard herb stems. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, bacon, and scallions.
• In a small bowl, whisk together reserved cooking liquid, oil, vinegar, chopped parsley, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour dressing over potatoes and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature (or refrigerate, up to overnight).
