Potato Salad With Creme Fraiche Dressing Food

HEALTHIER POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 2.5-3cm chunks (step 1), so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly. Put them in a pan of boiling water. Once the water has returned to the boil, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 10 mins or until just cooked and still keeping their shape. Tip them into a colander to drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, crème fraîche, mustard and milk. Add the spring onions, then most of the chives and tarragon to the potatoes (step 2). Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Spoon the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm (step 3), then toss gently together so that they are well coated but don't break up. Tip the potato salad into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chives and tarragon. Serve cold - but the flavour is best if not served straight from the fridge.

CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water to cover potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook covered 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into cubes.
• Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in large glass or plastic bowl.
• Add potatoes, celery and onion; toss. Stir in eggs. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors and chill. Store covered in refrigerator.

POTATO SALAD WITH CREME FRAICHE DRESSING

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large stockpot; fill with enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Add salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and let simmer until potatoes are just tender when poked with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat, drain, and sprinkle with vermouth. Let stand until cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, creme fraiche, and celery seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces, and transfer to a serving bowl. Pour dressing over the potatoes. Add chopped cornichons, scallions, and parsley; toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.
