Peppered Potato Salad Recipes

THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Cover& chill.

PEPPERONI POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
• For the dressing, mix together the mayonnaise, marinara sauce and Parmesan. Pour the dressing over the potatoes, add the scallions and give it a stir.
• Fold in the mozzarella pearls, pepperoni, olives, basil, pepper and three-quarters of the chopped parsley. Garnish with the remaining parsley.

ROASTED POTATO AND GARLIC SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the cubed potatoes in the oil until coated, and then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
• Pass the red peppers through the bowl of oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Place on a separate baking sheet.
• Cut about 1/2 inch off the tops of the garlic and drizzle with the remaining oil from the bowl. Place on the baking sheet with the red peppers. Sprinkle the potatoes, peppers and garlic with salt and pepper, and then place both sheets in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Check the potatoes: they should be soft, brown and crispy. If not, return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until they are done. The peppers and garlic will take longer, and are done when the skins on the peppers are black and garlic is dark brown (no more than 40 minutes total).
• Once everything has been roasted, place the potatoes in a large bowl and seal the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 10 minutes. (This will loosen their skins.)
• Take the peppers out of the bag, remove their skins and seeds and chop them up. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to mix.
• Turn the garlic heads upside down and squeeze the softened garlic past into a separate, small bowl. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil and oregano until smooth. Pour the dressing onto the potatoes and peppers and toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Best when served warm or at room temperature. To prepare in advance for an occasion, refrigerate and then reheat in the microwave just until warmed through.

PEPPER AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Chunk up the potatoes, cutting them into large bite-size pieces and place them in a pot of water. Boil until tender, drain and return back to hot pot to dry them out. Add hot peppers, bell peppers and scallions to potatoes, then dress with a splash of hot pepper juice and vinegar. Toss to combine, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat the salad evenly and season with salt and pepper.

POTATO SALAD WITH OLIVES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using side of a large heavy knife. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in vinegar, salt, and red-pepper flakes, then whisk in oil.
• Add hot potatoes to vinaigrette and toss to coat. Let stand until potatoes cool to warm, about 30 minutes, then stir in peppers, parsley, and olives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes; rinse with cold water. Place in single layer in 15x10x1-inch pan; refrigerate until cooled, about 30 minutes. Cut cooled potatoes into eighths (bite-size wedges).
• In large serving bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Gently fold in potatoes. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving time.
