Potato Salad

[jaxn slim]

I just made my first potato salad from a recipe I found on FoodNetwork.com. It is soooo good.
Thought I'd share.

You guys have any good potato salad recipes?

Ingredients
3 pounds small white potatoes
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Directions
Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

I love potato salad.

Try German Potato salad one of these days. Definitely different, but tasty nonetheless.

I hate mayonnaise as well. I can't even stand to look at it, so I use sour cream or plain yogurt instead.
The recipe is almost identical to the one I use.

I agree. Different but great.

That looks good. I don't like parsley, but I could use something else.

Mayo is the spooge of the devil.

Lots of Mayo hate in this thread.




I approve. That shit is vile.

 

[jaxn slim]

I read one time that revulsion to mayonnaise was linked to excessive self "expression."

I read one time that mayo is devil spooge.

I read one time that mayo is devil spooge.

That's exactly what someone with the affliction would say.

I read one time that mayo is devil spooge.

It would be pretty funny if someone updated Wikipedia with this.

I love mayo, but here's a different take on potato salad for all you mayo haters. This one's a favorite in the Tralfaz household.

That sounds good. I'd probably omit the avacodo, but I like the idea of the jalapeno in there.....

The avocado is a substitute for the mayo and holds it all together like a traditional potato salad. I think it would turn out kind of odd without avocado, but it's your mouth.

Mayo and cold potatos,no thanks

 

[Denverdave]

I love Mayo.....and a good potato salad. I used to have an excellent recipe but lost it. I do like the Reesers Red Skin Potato potato salad most than most of the stuff I have ever had (homemade/restaurant or otherwise). I just finished a couple pound container this week in fact.

Mayo and cold potatos,no thanks

It was actually really good warm, too.

I always wind up making up my potato salad based on what's in the fridge. I pretty much only ever make it when I've got new potatoes fresh out of the garden, so it still turns out amazing.
