BBQ season is upon us and Memorial Day is fast approaching. If you are in need of a great potato salad recipe look no further…
I made this for one of our BBQ’s recently and it was a huge hit. The whole grain and Dijon mustard as well as the buttermilk are a nice twist to the potato salad. And of course, the bacon lover that I am threw in a few pieces of bacon for good measure.
Enjoy!
Potato Salad
2016-05-19 04:51:38
Ingredients
- 3 pounds small red potatoes
- salt
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of buttermilk or milk (I used buttermilk)
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh dill
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup medium-diced celery
- 1/2 cup of small-diced red onion
- 4 slices of chopped bacon
Instructions
- 1. Place the potatoes and 2 TBS of salt in a large pot of water and bring water to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife (My red potatoes were on the larger side so I simmered them for 15 minutes).
- 2. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Then keeping the potatoes in the colander, place them both in the emptied pot and cover with a clean kitchen towel to allow the potatoes to be steamed for 15 to 20 minutes until tender but firm (I steamed the potatoes for 20 minutes).
- 3. While the potatoes are steaming, whisk the mayo, buttermilk, Dijon and whole-grain mustard, dill, 1 tsp of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 4. When the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into quarters (or eighths depending on the size of your red potato...mine were on the larger size so I cut them into eighths).
- 5. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough of the dressing over them to coat the potatoes and toss. You may need to add more of the dressing as the potato salad sits.
- 6. Add the bacon, celery and red onions, 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper.
- 7. Toss altogether and let sit for a few hours for the flavors to marinate. Add more dressing before serving if necessary.
Notes
- Serves 6 to 8 people.
