Potato Salad With Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing image

Thick and creamy are the standards for a great blue cheese dressing. If you're using this for a spinach salad, simply thin with milk or buttermilk. We loved this potato salad, it's very different! This recipe is by Heather Trim from Food and Drink Magazine.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs potatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 slices bacon
1 red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
1/2-3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (preferably Danish)
2 green onions, finely chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes if you wish, then cut into bite-size chunks. Place in a large saucepan of salted water, set over high heat and bring to the boil. Partially cover and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain well, then set aside in a bowl. While potatoes are still hot, toss with 2 tbsp lemon juice.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate, then crumble.
  • For dressing, whisk mayonnaise with sour cream, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce in a bowl.
  • Stir in ½ cup (125 mL) blue cheese and green onion. Taste and if desired add remaining blue cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Stir dressing with cooled potatoes until mixed. Add bacon, red pepper and green onions.
