The Rainbows Potato Salad Recipes

RAINBOW ROASTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine red and purple potatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, until tender and browned. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
• In a large pan set over medium heat, add green beans and 3 tablespoons water. Saute until beans are bright green and water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and corn to the pan. Cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add thyme and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper to the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until fragrant. Remove from heat and add the tomatoes. Cool to room temperature. Once cool, add the potatoes to the other vegetables.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and sugar. Continue whisking constantly and slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the shallots and stir.
• Drizzle the vinaigrette over the potato salad and gently toss to coat. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chill.

THE RAINBOW'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place rinse potatoes into a large stockpot and cover with enough cold water to cover them about an inch.
• Add about 1 Tbsp coarse sea salt and bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook until fork tender, maybe 10-15 minutes.
• Drain and rinse and let cool to room temperature, then cover and chill.
• Once potatoes are nice and cool, peel skins if desired (the Rainbow removes the skins, I like them on),dice them into small chunks and place in a large bowl.
• Add very, very finely chopped carrots, onions, and green peppers.
• Add a few grinds of salt and pepper to your your liking, as much or as little as you prefer.
• Squirt in about 1 Tbsp of mustard, about 1 cup or so mayo (start with a cup, add more if it needs more), and a splash of vinegar.
• If you like lots of mayo, you will likely need more of all the seasonings too, so please adjust this the way you like it.
• Stir gently to coat and chill overnight or at least several hours.
• Taste again before serving, adding more dressing ingredients if needed.
