Holiday Bliss Potato Salad Recipes

RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, eggs, pickle, celery, green onions, and hot sauce. Season with dill, garlic powder, onion salt, salt, and pepper. Pour over the potatoes, and gently toss to coat. Chill at least 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

RAFFY'S HOLIDAY SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup of the lemon juice with the salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil to blend. Season the dressing with more salt and pepper as needed. (The dressing can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return to room temperature and re-whisk before using.)
• Toss the endive and apples with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice in a large bowl to coat (the lemon juice will prevent the endive and apples from browning). Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice over the avocado. Add the avocado, corn and cheese to the endive mixture. Gently toss the salad with enough dressing to coat. Season the salad with more salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the salad if desired and serve immediately.

RED BLISS POTATO SALAD

• In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in oil and set aside.

BABY RED BLISS POTATO SALAD WITH JUNIPER AND BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Simmer the potatoes in a pot of well salted water that you have brung to the boil. Cook until just done without allowing the potatoes to become mushy. Drain well, then rinse in cold water. Spread on some kitchen toweling to dry.
• Combine the mustard, vinegar, juniper berries, salt, pepper and buttermilk in the bowl of a small sized food processor or the bowl of a stick blender and blitz until fairly smooth and well combined. (I find this chops the juniper berries with no problem. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is creamy.
• Put the lukewarm potatoes into a bowl and add half the buttermilk dressing. Cover and chill overnight.
• One hour before serving stir in the remaining buttermilk dressing and the parsley and onions. Leave to set at room temperature until serving.
