Best Linzer And A Perfect Potato Salad Recipes

PERFECT POTLUCK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
• Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
• While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
• Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
• Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

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.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in halves or thirds, then boil until fork tender. Drain. Mash the potatoes or run them through a ricer or food mill to make them extra fluffy.
• Fold the potatoes together with the mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, dill, salt, pepper, paprika and other seasonings you like. Fold in the pickles, pickle juice and eggs, and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, mustard or mayo as needed.

LINZER, AND A PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Long, pale, and slim, the Linzer Delikatess is as elegant as a tuber could be. I found this Austrian variety at my usual market on a wet day in early July, and brought them home out of curiosity. The flesh was waxy and yellow, and held together well in salted boiling water. They were tender to the knife in ten minutes. Potatoes that keep their shape well in water tend to hold up when saturated with dressing, making them good for potato salads-in this case, a salad dressed with thick Spanish oil, mustard, and dill and tossed with chunks of peeled cucumber. We ate it with a fat, golden-skinned mackerel, smoked that morning by the fishmonger.

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil; cook until tender for about 15- 20 minutes.
• Drain and cool potatoes. Put in a bowl with the eggs.
• Combine remaining ingredients together; pour over potatoes and eggs and mix throughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours but highly recommend overnight so flavors blend.
• **To serve place salad in pretty glass lettuce lined bowl. Garnish with additional egg slices and sprinkle with paprika.**.
