Next Level Potato Salad Recipes

NEXT LEVEL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until tender to the tip of a knife.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil and chopped shallot together with a good pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel if you prefer, then halve, quarter or cut them into bite-sized chunks if large, then toss in the mustard dressing until completely coated. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, soured cream, lemon juice and horseradish together. When the potatoes are cool, toss them through the mayonnaise mixture along with the spring onions. Tip into a dish and scatter with the crispy onions just before serving, or serve the crispy onions on the side for sprinkling over at the table.

DEVILED POTATO AND EGG SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium pot, add the eggs and cover with water. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, then cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs stand 10 minutes. Rinse under cold water, then roll and crack the shells. Put the eggs into cold water a few minutes to loosen the shells. Peel and chop the eggs and put them into a small bowl.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium heat and salt the water. Cook until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Warm the chicken stock in small pot over low heat while the potatoes cook.
• Drain the potatoes, put them into a serving bowl and douse them with stock while very hot. Grate the onion over the potatoes. Stir in the chile pepper, celery, paprika, parsley and salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and oil.
• Add the eggs to the potato salad and pour in the dressing. Toss to combine and serve.

HERBED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the potato salad: Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Season the water liberally with salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Transfer to a sheet tray or cutting board. Gently press each potato and garlic clove to smash them and set them aside in a bowl, covering the bowl with aluminum foil to keep the potatoes warm.
• For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
• Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add the parsley, dill and tarragon to the potatoes. Toss to coat, seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the Fresno chile and chives. Serve at room temperature or keep covered in the refrigerator overnight, tossing again before serving.

SALMON SALAD NIçOISE

Steps:

• Combine sherry vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl; stir briskly until vinaigrette is well combined.
• Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking briskly after each addition. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until well combined; set aside.
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, making sure the water level is above the potatoes. Add green beans and boil until beans are bright-green and tender crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Sieve out green beans and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and place in a large bowl.
• Test potatoes for doneness by slightly piercing a potato with a sharp knife. If done, the knife should slip in with only a slight resistance. Drain potatoes, cool slightly, slice in half, and add to the bowl. Add bell pepper and drizzle vinaigrette over salad. Toss until well combined.
• Line a serving plate with lettuce leaves and arrange potatoes, green beans, and pepper strips on top. Evenly place olive halves around the salad.
• Lightly toss the sliced cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt, and place around the plate.
• Place salmon flakes on top of salad. Slice egg in half, and place one half of the egg on each side of the plate. Serve.
