Garlic Ranch Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• In a bowl, whisk together the dry Italian dressing mix, tarragon vinegar, water, and olive oil until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
• Place the hot potatoes into a large bowl, and roughly but thoroughly slice them with a table knife until the potatoes are in chunks. Pour the dressing mixture over the hot potatoes, toss to coat, and let the potatoes cool. Add the celery, bacon bits, dill pickle, and green onion to the potatoes; lightly stir in mayonnaise until all ingredients are well combined, and serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, 20-25 minutes., In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (dressing will be thick). Drain potatoes and cut into cubes; add to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• To make the garlic mayonnaise, place all ingredients except oil in blender. Blend on high until all ingredients are well blended. Add the oil in a slow steady stream. If the mayo is too thick add a few drops of lemon juice. (The extra mayo can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. It's great on sandwiches and in chicken salad.)
• For the salad, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of potatoes. Boil eggs for 10 minutes. After both have cooled, peel, dice and add to bowl. Add the onions and then salt and pepper to taste. Add dill, mustard and mayo to the consistency that you like--some people like their potato salad dry, some like it very moist. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the cubed potatoes in the oil until coated, and then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
• Pass the red peppers through the bowl of oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Place on a separate baking sheet.
• Cut about 1/2 inch off the tops of the garlic and drizzle with the remaining oil from the bowl. Place on the baking sheet with the red peppers. Sprinkle the potatoes, peppers and garlic with salt and pepper, and then place both sheets in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Check the potatoes: they should be soft, brown and crispy. If not, return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until they are done. The peppers and garlic will take longer, and are done when the skins on the peppers are black and garlic is dark brown (no more than 40 minutes total).
• Once everything has been roasted, place the potatoes in a large bowl and seal the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 10 minutes. (This will loosen their skins.)
• Take the peppers out of the bag, remove their skins and seeds and chop them up. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to mix.
• Turn the garlic heads upside down and squeeze the softened garlic past into a separate, small bowl. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil and oregano until smooth. Pour the dressing onto the potatoes and peppers and toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Best when served warm or at room temperature. To prepare in advance for an occasion, refrigerate and then reheat in the microwave just until warmed through.

Steps:

• Peel and Cube your potatoes, add to bowl. Cut your onions to your liking. I just diced mine. I like to taste bigger pieces of onions. Add onions, garlic and drizzle olive oil over those. Then add whole package of Ranch dip. Stir until all is mixed well. Put in microwave for 12-15 minutes until almost done and then put in oven set at 350 on cookie sheet for 10 minutes just to finish cooking and give them a crispness. Take out and add cheeses. Then return to oven just to melt cheese. Take out once again and either spread sour cream on top of whole thing or just in case everyone doesn't like it add it to your individual serving. I had to add a little salt and pepper to mine and it tasted wonderful! Enjoy.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, finely diced onion and crushed garlic cloves in container with a lid.
• Mix well and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
• (This is so the flavour of the garlic and onion will be picked up by the mayonnaise) Wash potatoes and cube, leaving the skin on.
• Boil until tender, and skin is SLIGHTLY coming away.
• The potatoes will be slightly overcooked by potato salad measures, but this only adds to the creaminess.
• Set aside to cool.
• At the same time you can hardboil the eggs.
• Once eggs are cooled, cut in quarters, lengthways and set aside.
• Place cooled potatoes in large bowl and add the mayonnaise mixture, corn kernals and chives.
• Mix well.
• The last step is to add the eggs.
• Place them throughout the salad, being careful not to mix them in too much, as they will lose their yolk and discolour the salad.
