The Perfect Potato Salad Recipes

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Perfect Potato Salad image

This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.

Time 15h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 pounds large russet potatoes
¼ cup kosher salt
10 cups cold water
½ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons finely diced sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives for garnish
1 pinch paprika for garnish
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise, or more if needed
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste

Steps:

Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

HOW TO MAKE POTATO SALAD | ALLRECIPES

From allrecipes.com
Estimated Reading Time 6 mins

Picking the right potatoes. The potatoes you use will make all the difference in the texture of your salad. Some cooks prefer waxy potatoes such as Yellow Finn, Yukon Gold, and red potatoes because they hold their shape when they're cooked and keep their firm texture in the salad when they're chopped up and tossed with dressing.
Prepping and cooking potatoes. To peel or not to peel? If you'd like to add a little extra color and texture to your salad, leave the skins on. Just be sure to scrub them thoroughly with a vegetable brush before you cook them.
Adding ingredients. Some people like to let the potatoes take the lead with just a few additions for flavor and texture, while others pack as many extras as they can into the mix.
Choosing a dressing. Are you a creamy potato salad person? Or do you prefer tangy vinegar-based dressings? Time to choose! Creamy potato salads almost always have a mayonnaise-based dressing, but can also include sour cream, yogurt, and creamy-style salad dressings.
Mixing it all ip. Once you've chosen your dressing ingredients, mix well and take a taste. Need more salt? Vinegar? Spice? Adjust seasonings before you start coating the potatoes with the dressing; the less you stir, the prettier your salad will look.
