Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds russet potatoes (about 8 potatoes)
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 large eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1/2 cup)
1 medium onion, finely diced (1/2 cup)
10 cornichons, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1/4 cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and lower to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain into a colander. Using paper towels or gloves to protect your hands, peel potatoes, and cut into 1-inch dice while still hot. Drizzle with vinegar; set aside.

Drain, and place in a bowl with cold water to cover. When cold, peel eggs. Chop 2 into 1/4-inch dice. Slice the third egg into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, and set aside for garnish.
  • Combine diced eggs, mayonnaise, celery seed, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and whisk to combine. Add reserved potatoes to mayonnaise mixture. Add celery, red pepper, onion, cornichons, scallions, and chopped parsley. Stir to combine. Chill for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with paprika and reserved hard-boiled egg rounds.

Potato salad is a classic American side dish that is perfect for picnics, barbecues, and potluck gatherings. There are many different variations of potato salad recipes, but the all-American version is probably the most popular. This salad features potatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, and a variety of other ingredients that give it a delicious and distinct flavor. If you want to make the perfect all-American potato salad, then you need to keep a few important tips in mind.

1. Choose the Right Potatoes

When making potato salad, it's important to choose the right type of potatoes. Russet or Idaho potatoes are ideal because they are starchy and hold their shape well when boiled. Avoid using waxy potatoes because they can become mushy and fall apart when mixed with other ingredients. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly and don't end up too soft or too hard.

2. Cook the Potatoes Perfectly

Boiling is the most common way to cook potatoes for potato salad. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, but not falling apart. Overcooking the potatoes can ruin the texture of the salad. Once the potatoes are done, drain them and set them aside to cool.

3. Don't Overdo the Dressing

The dressing is a critical component of potato salad, but don't overdo it. Too much dressing can make the salad heavy, mushy, and unappetizing. Use a lighter hand and add the dressing a little at a time until you achieve the right balance of flavor and texture. You can always add more later, but it's difficult to remove excess dressing once it's been mixed in.

4. Use High-Quality Ingredients

The quality of the ingredients you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your potato salad. Use high-quality mayonnaise, mustard, and other ingredients to ensure that your salad turns out delicious. Avoid using cheap or low-quality ingredients, as they can make the salad taste bland or unappetizing.

5. Add Some Crunch

Texture is an important aspect of potato salad, and adding some crunch to the salad can make it more enjoyable to eat. Try tossing in some chopped celery, diced onions, or grated carrots to add some texture to the salad. You can also add some chopped bacon or fried onions for an extra burst of flavor.

6. Let the Salad Chill

Once you've mixed the ingredients together, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld together and will help the salad develop a more cohesive taste. Be sure to cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out or developing a skin.

7. Experiment with Seasonings

The beauty of potato salad is that you can experiment with different seasonings to create a unique flavor profile. Try adding some fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or cilantro to give the salad a more vibrant taste. You can also try adding some spices like paprika, cumin, or cayenne pepper to give the salad a little extra kick.

8. Use a Little Sour Cream

If you want to add a touch of tanginess to your potato salad, try adding a dollop of sour cream to the dressing. Sour cream adds a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients in the salad. Be sure to use a high-quality sour cream and mix it in thoroughly to ensure that the flavor is evenly distributed.

Conclusion

Potato salad is a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion. If you want to make the perfect all-American potato salad, then you need to start with the right potatoes, cook them perfectly, use high-quality ingredients, and experiment with different seasonings. By using these valuable tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful potato salad that will be the hit of any party or social gathering. Remember to keep it simple, yet flavorful and you'll have a side dish that is always a crowd-pleaser.
