Roasted Garlic Red Skin Potato Salad Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC & RED SKIN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Clean the potatoes and chop them into 3/4" size pieces. In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the chopped potatoes and boil for about 8-10 minutes until they are fork tender.
• Remove the pot from the heat and drain the potatoes. Promptly return them to the pot they were cooking in (NOT over heat) to let them steam for a bit.
• Chop the bacon into 1/4" pieces and add it to a frying pan over medium high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bacon starts to brown and add the diced onions. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the onions are browned.
• Add the cooled bacon and onions to a large bowl with the potatoes, celery, green onions, bell pepper and hard boiled eggs.
• In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon, vinegar, salt, pepper and mashed roasted garlic. Mix well and spoon on the top of the potato mixture. Gently fold the dressing into the vegetables until well combined.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

RED SKINNED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and set in the refrigerator to cool.
• Place eggs in a 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 chop.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Chop the cooled potatoes, leaving skin on. Add to a large bowl, along with the eggs, bacon, onion and celery. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste. Chill for an hour before serving.

ROASTED RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread potato pieces onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes; remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes.
• Place roasted potatoes into a large salad bowl and combine with hard-cooked eggs, celery, green onion, and bacon; stir in mayonnaise and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors blend.

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.
