Definitely in the Running
for "Best Potato Salad Recipe"
Now, some favor our Classic Egg and Potato Salad and some think Don's Roasted Red Potato Salad Recipe is to swoon for, while others feel this gourmet version with its rich Mediterranean flavors is the new best potato salad recipe.
It's your choice, but I'm going to play the diplomat in our little potato salad war and say, I really, really like them all. I do.
Sosha's Gourmet Potato Salad
2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium)
3/4 pound bacon
4 green onions
4 hard-boiled eggs
1 medium red onion
2 red bell peppers (or 1 green, 1 red)
1 small bunch fresh cilantro
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 tablespoon capers
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Simmer scrubbed potatoes in water to cover until tender. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, or slightly smaller, and transfer them to a medium-size mixing or serving bowl, adding the remaining ingredients to the bowl as you go.
Fry the bacon until crisp. Cool and crumble or slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
Slice the green onions and chop the eggs, red onion, bell peppers and cilantro leaves.
Add the crumbled blue cheese, sliced olives and capers.
Mix the dressing ingredients together and stir into the salad.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill.
