Best Potato And Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipes

POTATO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until the potatoes are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. If sweet potatoes are done before, remove with slotted spoon to colander. Drain the potatoes in colander, and rinse with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl; add reserved poblano pieces and half of dressing. Stir to combine well. Place lettuces in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut tomatoes into halves, slices, or wedges, and toss well with greens.
• If plating salads individually, arrange greens on six plates, and divide warm potato salad evenly among them. Top each salad with a disc of goat cheese, and a sprinkle of scallions. Serve remaining dressing on the side.

HEIRLOOM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Place the celery and onions in a very large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• 2. Place potatoes in a large pot with their skins on and just cover with water. On high heat, bring water to a boil and turn flame to med-high. Boil potatoes until firm/tender. (Around 10-15 mins) Do not overcook!
• 3. Drain water and allow the potatoes to cool just until you can handle them.
• 4. Pull skins off potatoes. Discard skins.
• 5. Place them whole in the bowl, onto the veggies. Potatoes should still be pretty warm when you add them to the bowl.
• 6. Take a knife and run it through the potatoes, cutting them roughly throughout into bite-sized pieces. Pieces should be irregular and not too small.
• 7. Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl. For creamier textured salad increase the mayo slightly. Try to make it once as written to see your preference for next time.
• 8. Boiled eggs: Slice the eggs in half, scooping the yolk from the white.
• 9. Collect and mash the yolks roughly leaving some in small pieces and add to the bowl of potatoes. Roughly chop the whites - not too tiny.
• 10. Add to the potato bowl.
• 11. Pour the dressing over the warm potato pile. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, carefully fold the potatoes, sauce, and veggies below until all are coated. It will seem as though you don't have enough dressing but you do. Allow it to rest for a minute.
• 12. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 13. Scoop the salad into a storage bowl and spread out the sides. Sprinkle with paprika or dill weed and cover. Refrigerate overnight before serving. I usually need two containers for this recipe. Used gallon ice cream tubs work well for this too.
