Potato Salad With Basil Buttermilk Dressing Recipes

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 in quarters or in half, 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. 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.

BEV'S BUTTERMILK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in skins. Cool and chop in small chunks.
• Chop boiled eggs and add to potatoes.
• Add pickles, onion and pimentos next.
• Take about 1/4 cup buttermilk, or make your own by adding about a teaspoon of vinegar to the fresh milk. Once the vinegar is added, the milk will sour very quickly, set it aside.
• I put about a 1/2 cup (maybe a little more) mayo in a shaker or glass jar. Add the sour milk to your mayo and shake it well.
• You can add your salt and pepper to this mayo dressing. Then pour it over the potatoes. If you need more or less mayo adjust it so the potatoes are well coated.
• Stir the potatoes gently, so they stay in chunks.
• Garnish with paprika or sliced eggs.
• Chill about an hour before serving, we like it warm, too.
