Potato Salad With Creme Fraiche Dressing Recipes

POTATO SALAD WITH CREME FRAICHE DRESSING

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large stockpot; fill with enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Add salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and let simmer until potatoes are just tender when poked with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat, drain, and sprinkle with vermouth. Let stand until cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, creme fraiche, and celery seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces, and transfer to a serving bowl. Pour dressing over the potatoes. Add chopped cornichons, scallions, and parsley; toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.

HEALTHIER POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 2.5-3cm chunks (step 1), so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly. Put them in a pan of boiling water. Once the water has returned to the boil, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 10 mins or until just cooked and still keeping their shape. Tip them into a colander to drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, crème fraîche, mustard and milk. Add the spring onions, then most of the chives and tarragon to the potatoes (step 2). Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Spoon the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm (step 3), then toss gently together so that they are well coated but don't break up. Tip the potato salad into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chives and tarragon. Serve cold - but the flavour is best if not served straight from the fridge.

POTATO SALAD WITH FRENCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Cover potatoes in large saucepan with water. Bring to boiling and cook until fork tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle but still very warm, peel the potatoes and then cube. Place the warm potatoes in large bowl. Add the salt and French dressing, tossing to coat (You can even let the potatoes sit in the refrigerator overnight at this point.).
• Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to just under a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and return the eggs to the pot, covering with ice water. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel the eggs under cold running water, beginning with the large end. Cut into small cubes and reserve.
• To the potatoes, add the celery, onion, and pickle relish.
• In small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. With a spatula, fold the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture until thoroughly blended. Add the egg and gently stir just to evenly distribute. This is one of those dishes that is even bettr the next day. (If you can wait that long).

DRESSING FOR POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion and salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to toss with potatoes.

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
• After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
• Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
• To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.
