Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds waxy potatoes
6-8 slices bacon (finely diced)
½ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup beef stock
6 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp mustard (Dijon or mild German mustard)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil (sunflower or avocado oil work best)
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper (freshly ground )
2 Tbsp chopped parsley (or chives)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot covered with an inch of water over high heat until tender, about 20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Take out the bacon and set it aside, leave the rendered fat in the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent but not browned, about 3-4 mins (Image 1). Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat and add vinegar, mustard, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper (Image 2).
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly so you can handle them. Peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices or cubes and put them in a large bowl. (Image 3)
  • Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes. Mix the salad gently then fold in the bacon pieces (Image 4). Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving so that the potatoes can absorb the flavor of the dressing.

AUTHENTIC GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Authentic German Potato Salad image

This is my mother's recipe. Everyone, German or not, loves it. It is easy to double the recipe as well. I often bring it to potlucks, and we also have it at home on special occasions. There are usually no leftovers, but if there are, they don't last long!

GERMAN TATER TOT® POTATO SALAD



German Tater Tot® Potato Salad image

While this recipe may upset a few Germans, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Tossed with a warm bacon dressing and made easy with crispy, crunchy, frozen potato nuggets, this take on a German potato salad makes an already easy recipe even easier. If you're a fan of Tater Tots®, you'll find this salad to be spectacular in taste, texture, and appearance. Plus, there's no peeling, slicing, or boiling necessary!

Provided by Chef John

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

canola oil cooking spray
1 (28 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cover a sheet pan with foil, and spray generously with cooking spray.
  • Spread frozen potato nuggets evenly on the prepared pan, then spray the tops with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until well browned and extra crispy, 40 to 45 minutes. Please note, this will be about 10 to 15 minutes longer than the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, prepare dressing: Place bacon in a cold, dry pan. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until fat has rendered, and bacon is foamy and almost crisp. Reduce heat to medium and toss in diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften and turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in sugar, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until sugar just starts to caramelize onto the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan by stirring in apple cider vinegar and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits. Turn off the heat.
  • Remove Tater Tots® from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a large mixing bowl. Pour warm bacon dressing over top and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated. Mix in parsley and chives. Taste and adjust for salt before serving.

RUSSIAN SALAD



Russian Salad image

Basically a vegetable-studded potato salad with mayonnaise, Russian salad is hugely popular all over the world for family gatherings and festive events. It's a beloved, traditional party dish riffed on almost everywhere but my own home: I'd only ever seen pasty, congealed versions I would never wish to eat until I tried this one from Vladimir Ocokoljic, served at his Serbian restaurant Kafana in New York City. While not quite as demanding as his aunt back in Belgrade, who used to slice even the peas in half, Mr. Ocokoljic insists on the tiny dice (each ingredient should match the size of a pea) and emphatically dislikes any sweet pickles (only gherkins or cornichons are a fit), making the finished dish delicate, luscious and savory. Whisking pickle brine into the mayonnaise creates a liquidy slurry, loose enough to dress the salad without its becoming smushed and gluey.

Time 1h

Yield 6 1/2 cups (about 12 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and black pepper
3 medium yellow potatoes (about 1 pound), washed
5 thin carrots (about 1/2 pound), washed
10 ounces frozen peas
4 large eggs, fridge-cold
3 1/2 ounces boiled ham
1 cup drained cornichons and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of their brine
1 scant cup Hellmann's mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season with salt.
  • Add whole potatoes to the boiling water, and cook 15 minutes. Add whole carrots to the cooking potatoes, and cook both another 10 minutes. Remove potatoes and carrots with a spider when easily pierced with a cake tester or a very thin knife blade, and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add frozen peas to boiling water, and using the spider, remove them to a separate bowl as they float, until all peas have floated and been transferred to the bowl.
  • Gently add the eggs, and allow to boil 10 minutes.
  • While the eggs cook, peel the potatoes and carrots under cold running water by rubbing them gently with your fingers. Rinse the peas under cold running water to cool.
  • Once the eggs are cooked, drain them, and peel under cold running water.
  • Neatly dice the potatoes, carrots, ham, eggs and cornichons to the same approximate (and rather small) size as the peas, aiming for uniformity. Gently toss them all together in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise with the cornichon brine, and pour over the salad. Toss gently with rubber spatula or using your fingers until the salad is well coated. Season with several hearty grinds of black pepper.
  • Refrigerate overnight, and serve cold.
