Number Of Ingredients 12

5 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes
1 medium white onion, finely grated
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellman's
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup sliced cornichons
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish (optional)
Hard-boiled eggs sliced, for garnish (optional)
Freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with about 2 inches water and add a pinch of salt. Set steamer basket in pot; make sure water doesn't seep through holes. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a rapid simmer.
  • Add potatoes to steamer basket. Cover and steam until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove potatoes and allow to cool slightly. Peel potatoes, and slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Combine onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and use a large rubber spatula to gently combine, trying not to break up potato slices. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add mayonnaise, buttermilk, and cornichons. Add mixture to another bowl and repeat process of transferring potato mixture from one bowl to another to mix gently until well combined and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours; the mixture will thicken as it stands. Garnish with parsley and/or sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired. Season with salt and white pepper.

RED-SKIN POTATO SALAD



Red-Skin Potato Salad image

Traditional Southern potato salads are usually served chilled and contain either a mustard- or mayonnaise-based dressing. Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q first served a mustard-based potato salad, but over the years the recipe has gradually changed to a mayonnaise version. Because of the high ratio of hard-boiled eggs, it can almost be classified as a potato and egg salad.

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups unpeeled diced red-skin potatoes
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped well
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup white onion, chopped fine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Boil the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix gently with a rubber spatula. Chill and serve.
