Two Potato Salad With Creole Mustard Bacon And Arugula Food

TWO-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. When cool crumble and set aside.
• Put the sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes in 2 separate saucepans. Cover the potatoes with water (by 2-inches), add 1/2 teaspoon salt to each pot, and bring the pots to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, and simmer the potatoes until they are just cooked through and tender. The sweet potatoes will cook in about 15 minutes, and the Yukon gold potatoes should be finished in about 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and allow them to cool.
• Combine the potatoes, scallions, celery, and serrano chiles in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, tarragon, salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt or pepper, if needed. Toss the potato salad with the arugula, and serve on a large platter, garnished with the crumbled bacon.

SIMPLE POTATO SALAD FOR TWO

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and place in water to cover. Bring to a boil and then cover the pan and lower heat to simmer for about 25 - 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart to the touch (but a little overcooked is better than having an uncooked spot in the middles). You can cool the potatoes some by putting them in cold water for about a minute or two.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into cubes or chunks or quarter slices and put them in a bowl.
• Sprinkle vinegar over potatoes.
• Dice up to of the eggs and add. Slice the third and reserve to make decoration for the top of the salad.
• Add onions, seasonings and the mayonnaise and stir until well incorporated.
• Decorate top of salad with reserved eggs.
• Chill to blend all flavors, but also tastes good slightly warm right after you make it!

POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING AND BACON

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and garlic in medium bowl to blend.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover, chill.
• Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Crumble.
• Boil potatoes in large pot until just tender.
• Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Cool for 15 minutes or so.
• Mix bacon, celery, green and red onions, eggs and dressing into potatoes.
• Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Chill.
• Note: I usually hold back about ¾ cup of the dressing to toss with salad just before serving.
• While chilling the potatoes soak up a good bit of the dressing and if not careful it can become dry. If this happens just moisten with a small amount of milk and stir to encorporate.
