Pom Grilled Steak Salad With Crispy Baked Potato Chips Food

WARM STEAK AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drizzle the steak with vegetable oil and very liberally, season the steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the steak sit out at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and heat the grill to hot.
• In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with the garlic-infused oil. Roast the potatoes for 18 minutes, or until deep golden, turning halfway through. Set the potatoes aside.
• Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill and grill the steak until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest under tented foil.
• To assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Sprinkle on the halved tomatoes. Divide the warm potatoes among the plates. Drizzle with the Sour Cream-Bacon Dressing. Slice the steak thinly on the bias and fan on top. Top the salad with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, sour cream, and garlic powder. Drizzle in the oil and bacon fat to emulsify. Whisk in the chopped bacon, green onions, and season with salt, and pepper, to taste, if necessary.

GRILLED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill using the snake method or for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, stack the unlit charcoals around the perimeter of the grill, about halfway, then light the first few at one end so the snake begins to burn slowly. (This results in a controlled 325 to 350 degrees F heat.) If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil in a cross and place the potatoes in the middle. Gather up the sides to create a foil packet, add 2 tablespoons of water and seal the foil packet.
• Place the foil packet over direct heat and steam until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Open the foil packet and continue to cook until the potatoes take on some smoke and dry out, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the peanuts, remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, cilantro, mustard, celery seeds and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the grill, add to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 375 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.)

POTATO CHIP POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Season the water generously with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the celery and onions in a bowl, then season with salt and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, parsley and pepper to taste. Combine the celery mixture with the mayo mixture. Let this dressing sit for 20 minutes while the potatoes are cooking so the flavors can marry.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Immediately add the vinegar and toss gently using a rubber spatula so the potatoes absorb all that vinegar flavor.
• While the potatoes are still warm, add the dressing and gently fold to combine. Adjust the seasonings.
• Spread half of the potato salad in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top each quadrant of the potato salad with 1 cup of each flavor potato chip so you have a different flavor in each quadrant. Plop the remaining potato salad over each quadrant. Lightly spread with the back of a large spoon. Top each quadrant with the remaining crushed chips and serve immediately.
