Jersey Style Potato Salad Recipes

GRILLED POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Season generously with kosher salt.
• Parboil potatoes until a sharp knife meets a little resistance when inserted, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet to cool and allow excess moisture to evaporate.
• If using new potatoes, slice them lengthwise when cool enough to handle.
• Preheat grill* over medium-high to 425 degrees F and make sure grates are clean.
• Place pork roll, vegetables and lemon halves on another large rimmed baking sheet.
• Brush honey on both sides of the pork roll.
• Brush oil on the corn, zucchini, bell pepper and onion slices. Drizzle enough oil over the potatoes and toss to coat. Season vegetables with kosher salt and pepper.
• The corn and pepper will take the longest to cook so get them on the grill first along with the pork roll, zucchini, onion and lemon cut-side down.
• The pork roll, zucchini and onion will take about 4 minutes per side to cook and get nice grill marks. Grill the lemon until charred, 5-7 minutes.
• Roll the corn and bell pepper every few minutes until some kernels and skin of the pepper are charred, about 15 minutes total.
• When the pork roll, zucchini and onion come off the grill, add the potatoes. Grill until charred and crisp on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
• When cool enough to handle, chop the pork roll, zucchini and onion and transfer to bowl with potatoes. Cut the kernels off the cobs, and seed and chop the pepper. Add to the potato mixture.
• Pour just enough dressing over the potato salad to coat well but not saturate. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently toss.
• Transfer potato salad to a large serving bowl. Garnish with extra thyme and parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
• Squeeze the juice of the grilled lemons into a small bowl or mason jar.
• Add the remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Shake or whisk until well combined.
• Dressing can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.

JERSEY-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes with skins on until cooked through, but not mushy (test with a knife). When finished, place potatoes in cold water bath for about an hour.
• Peel potatoes, slice into desired style (some like cubes, I like them sliced), and place in a bowl. Add chopped onion.
• Make brine by mixing water, vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Pour the brine over the potato/onion mixture and refrigerate for one hour.
• Thoroughly drain potato/onion mixture in a strainer and then place back in a bowl. Add mayonnaise as needed until a desired consistency is reached. Taste, adding salt and/or pepper (celery, eggs, etc) as needed. Chill for several hours or overnight.
