Louisiana New Potato Salad Recipes

NEW POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. If very small, you might want to leave them whole.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water to about an inch above the potatoes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and boil potatoes until tender.
• Drain and let cool.
• Combine potatoes with chopped egg, celery, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in a little parsley if using, then sprinkle paprika over top.

NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a large pot with a lid. Fill with enough water to come just below basket; bring to a boil. Place potatoes in basket; reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot; steam, tossing potatoes occasionally, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, place lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to bowl. With a rubber spatula, gently toss potatoes with lemon juice. Refrigerate until cool, at least 1 hour.
• Toss herbs and oil with cooled potato mixture; season with salt and pepper. If storing, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving.

NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 12-15 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the mustard with the lemon zest and juice, and slowly whisk in the oil to form a smooth emulsion. Season to taste.
• Drain the potatoes and tip into a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and gently mix. Leave to stand for 15 mins to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavours. To serve, stir the parsley and spring onions into the potatoes. Season to taste and serve immediately.

NEW RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add red potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop into 1 inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl.
• Place eggs in a medium saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and dice.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, distilled white vinegar, green onions, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the potatoes, and mix together with the eggs and celery. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator approximately 2 hours before serving.

NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add the onion and chives.
• Gently stir the dressing into the potatoes and marinate for at least 1 hour.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
• As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
• Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
• Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

WARM LAMB AND NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes but do not peel, and boil 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size.
• Trim excess fat from chops and brown on both sides in heavy skillet until medium rare. Cut meat into thin strips and set aside.
• Whisk oil and vinegar in bowl large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
• Beat in the marjoram, parsley, capers and mustard. Season with pepper.
• When potatoes are cooked, drain and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size, and add to dressing along with lamb, mushrooms and onion.
• Tuck lettuce under lamb-and-potato mixture. Decorate with cherry tomatoes. Serve with dense country bread. Raisin nut bread and Italian whole grain bread are good choices.

NEW-POTATO SALAD WITH SHAVED PARMESAN

Steps:

• Simmer potatoes in salted water until tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain.
• Blanch asparagus and peas separately in salted boiling water until bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Cool in ice water; drain. Cut asparagus into 1 1/2-inch lengths. If potatoes are large, cut in half. Place potatoes, asparagus, peas, and chives in a bowl.
• Combine lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gradually whisk in chive oil. Drizzle over salad. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan over the salad; toss gently by hand. Serve at room temperature.
