California Cheese And Red Potato Salad Recipes

RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then let cool slightly and cut in half or quarters (depending on the size of the potatoes). Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add the celery, dill, and cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to combine. Top with crispy bacon right before serving.

LOADED RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until easily pierced with a fork, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Transfer 2 tablespoons bacon to a small bowl and reserve for topping.
• Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and vinegar in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in the cooled potatoes, Cheddar, scallion whites, remaining bacon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the scallion greens and reserved 2 tablespoons bacon. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving.

RED POTATO SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES

• In a salad bowl, combine the potatoes, sour cream, yogurt, and chives; toss gently to coat. Add salt, and pepper to taste; refrigerate until chilled.
