Certain feels like a dream potato salad to me.
When you’ve been round right here lengthy sufficient, you most likely bear in mind once I shared my mayo-less potato salad. A non-creamy potato salad with tons of taste however not one of the creaminess.
I nonetheless LOVE that potato salad. You guys do too. It’s constantly a prime recipe each summer time.
However! As I received older (or simply, properly… outdated), I made a decision that perhaps I do like a creamy potato salad.
Hear me out.
I don’t prefer it SUPER creamy. I don’t need the potatoes swimming in dressing. After I take into consideration that, nightmare deli circumstances with soaking moist soggy potatoes in cream come to thoughts. Nothing appetizing or interesting in any respect.
However the concept of a easy potato salad with a light-weight creamy dressing – not gentle on taste and never even gentle usually – only a lighter dressed model – sounded fantastic to me!
That’s it. I’m undoubtedly outdated, proper?
Everyone knows that I would like some texture. It’s virtually my center title.
Meals shouldn’t even exist with out texture, in my view.
These of you which can be capable of eat egg salad or pimento cheese on comfortable white bread? I would secretly suppose you’re a monster.
Now add some potato chips and I can completely get behind it.
So, sure. I had so as to add SOMETHING.
Crispy shallots have been my best choice.
And the most effective half? You actually don’t have to make crispy shallots anymore. Belief me, I’ve loads of recipes on this weblog the place I’ve made my very own crispy shallots. It’s not that tough and it doesn’t even require that a lot oil.
However doing so nonetheless provides in some further work, and lately you will get actually nice crispy shallots on the grocery retailer.
I exploit these! Sue me.
You additionally gained’t consider it, however I add celery to this potato salad.
WHAT.
??????
I do know.
Celery is on my hit checklist. However there are only a few cases the place I can handle celery and discover that it improves the dish. That is certainly one of them. Once more, it provides that unbelievable crunch you could’t actually get wherever else.
That leaves us right here, with this crispy shallot potato salad. When you’re in search of different delish variations of potato salad, I additionally make a imply smashed potato salad, this potato salad with piccata French dressing and even my bacon blue potato salad.
