Buttermilk Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with water by 1 1/2 inches in a 2-quart pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain, and let cool completely. Cut potatoes into halves, or quarters if large.
• Stir potatoes, creme fraiche, buttermilk, horseradish, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Gently stir in herbs just before serving.

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes, and boil until tender but firm. (For large potatoes, this will be about 45 minutes.) Drain. Do not peel.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• Cool the potatoes slightly, and cut into 1-inch cubes. Stir gently into the buttermilk dressing. The salad can be eaten immediately but will be more flavorful if refrigerated for an hour or overnight.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with about 2 inches water and add a pinch of salt. Set steamer basket in pot; make sure water doesn't seep through holes. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a rapid simmer.
• Add potatoes to steamer basket. Cover and steam until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove potatoes and allow to cool slightly. Peel potatoes, and slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Combine onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and use a large rubber spatula to gently combine, trying not to break up potato slices. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add mayonnaise, buttermilk, and cornichons. Add mixture to another bowl and repeat process of transferring potato mixture from one bowl to another to mix gently until well combined and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours; the mixture will thicken as it stands. Garnish with parsley and/or sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired. Season with salt and white pepper.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water in saucepan 20 min. or until tender; drain. Cool.
• Mix mayo, buttermilk and chives in large bowl until blended. Add potatoes and cheese; mix lightly. Refrigerate 3 hours.
• Top with bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Using 4- to 5-inch-diameter strainer, transfer potatoes to colander; rinse under cold water to cool. Drain. Transfer to large bowl. Return water in pot to boil. Cook carrots in same pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add celery and cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Rinse carrots and celery under cold water to cool. Drain well. Mix into potatoes. Add enough dressing to vegetables to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Arrange arugula around edge of platter; mound potato salad in center. Sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in skins. Cool and chop in small chunks.
• Chop boiled eggs and add to potatoes.
• Add pickles, onion and pimentos next.
• Take about 1/4 cup buttermilk, or make your own by adding about a teaspoon of vinegar to the fresh milk. Once the vinegar is added, the milk will sour very quickly, set it aside.
• I put about a 1/2 cup (maybe a little more) mayo in a shaker or glass jar. Add the sour milk to your mayo and shake it well.
• You can add your salt and pepper to this mayo dressing. Then pour it over the potatoes. If you need more or less mayo adjust it so the potatoes are well coated.
• Stir the potatoes gently, so they stay in chunks.
• Garnish with paprika or sliced eggs.
• Chill about an hour before serving, we like it warm, too.
