Apple Cider Creamy Potato Salad
« Reply #-1 on: August 02, 2014, 08:59:05 AM »
I made up this recipe for a little different potato salad. I liked it but could use a little work. If you improve let me know please.

Apple cider creamy potato salad

2 to 2 ½ lbs. white potatoes
1 cup apple cider, no sugar added
Celery sliced thin on a diagonal I had 3 short stalks plus the heart
1 med. sweet onion sliced thin and cut into fourths
¼ cup good mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
I used grey sea salt and 4 pepper corn blend

Peel the potatoes and slice about 3/16 inch thick. Place in a pan and add just enough water to cover then add the 1 cup of apple cider.  Bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then set the colander back on the pan; cover with a towel and let steam about 10 minutes. I think this helps set the potatoes so they don’t fall apart when mixing.

Place the potatoes in a dish you can cover. Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir to mix well. Place in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

This was my first time making this so there is room for improvements. I didn’t get enough salt but that can be added at the table. I just could taste a hint of the apple cider so next time will try 2 cups to boil them in. Mine could have used a little more mayo and sour cream and I think some garlic and or chives would be a good addition.

Here was the post for some pics. http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=10462.msg141781;topicseen#msg141781

 Don.........Isn't that weird. Tomorrow I was making a vinegar potato salad and pork chops. This one has no mayo. I'll try it and if good I'll post it and mixing the two recipes we can make an awesome potato salad.

I'll be looking for your potato salad! Here is a salt and vinegar potato salad I did recently and it was good but a tad too sour for me. http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=10171.msg137771#msg137771
