Bobs Perfect German Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes. Grill, flipping occasionally, until potatoes are barely just tender when poked with a skewer, about 15 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until grease becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. Remove half the bacon with a slotted spoon; reserve for the topping. Add onion to the rest of the bacon in the pan; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel potatoes. Cut into quarters, then into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a bowl.
• Stir sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and vinegar in with the bacon. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir and remove dressing from heat.
• Pour dressing over the potatoes; toss to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes. Mix again and add parsley. Top with reserved bacon. Enjoy warm.

Steps:

• Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
• When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
• Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Place unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with the onion and cover with water.
• Cook on the grates of the grill (the bobby flay way) or just do it on the stove (the way we do it).
• Bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 15 minutes).
• Drain and discard onions.
• When cool enough to handle cut potatoes in cubes or slices.
• Place potatoes in a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Place a large sauté pan on grill/stove, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the red onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, 4-5 minutes.
• Carefully add the vinegar and mustard seeds and cook 2 more minutes.
• Whisk in the canola oil and hot mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the potatoes to the pan of dressing and toss gently to coat.
• Fold in the green onions, parsley and bacon; season again with salt and pepper to taste.
