Sour Cream And Onion Potato Salad Food

SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in 3 qt. water to cover. Add 1 cup salt and bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. (Yes, this is a lot of salt, but it's the right amount to ensure potatoes are seasoned through and through.) Reduce heat and simmer, adjusting heat as needed, until potatoes until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Scoop out ½ cup potato cooking liquid and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Add garlic and half of chives and mix just to incorporate.
• Place red onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse for several seconds to take away some of its raw bite. Pat dry with paper towels. Mix half of onion into dressing; set aside remaining onion for serving.
• Working one at a time, set potatoes on a flat surface and crush slightly with the palm of your hand. Add to bowl with dressing along with ¼ cup potato cooking liquid. Do this while the potatoes are still warm so that they can absorb all of the seasoning. Don't worry if the dressing looks a little loose and watery at the beginning-it will all get absorbed and become creamier as it sits. Taste and season with more salt or, if your dressing looks too thick, a splash of potato cooking liquid.
• Top potatoes with remaining chives and reserved onion and crumble potato chips over.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a wide skillet, add the scallions, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and cook over high heat on each side until charred and soft, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Chop the cooked scallions and place them in a medium bowl. Grate the clove of garlic over the scallions. The heat from the scallions will mellow out the garlic.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the quartered potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing the potatoes every 2 minutes to make sure they brown on all sides, for 7 to 10 minutes total.
• While the potatoes are browning, remove the rind of the lemon with a vegetable peeler, making sure to leave out the white pith of the lemon peel. Finely mince the lemon zest and reserve for garnish.
• Combine 3/4 cup of the sour cream, the juice of the lemon and half of the chopped bunch of chives in a small bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of the sour cream with the white wine vinegar and charred-scallion-and-garlic mixture in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stream in 1/4 cup of the olive oil, whisking continuously to create a creamy relish-like dressing.
• Add the crispy potatoes to the dressing and toss to coat.
• Spread the lemony sour-cream-and-chives mixture on a large plate, place the dressed potatoes on top and garnish with the remaining half bunch of chopped chives and the lemon zest and Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy.
