Amish Potato Salad From Cooks Country Americas Test Kitchen Recipes

Steps:

• COOK POTATOES Bring potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and enough water to cover by 1 inch to boil in large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes.
• PREPARE DRESSING While potatoes simmer, microwave vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Process vinegar mixture, mustard, 1 hard-cooked egg yolk (reserve white), celery seed, and ½ teaspoon salt in food processor until smooth. Transfer to medium bowl.
• SEASON POTATOES Drain potatoes thoroughly, then transfer to large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons dressing over hot potatoes and, using rubber spatula, gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until cooled, at least 30 -minutes, stirring gently once to redistribute dressing.
• ASSEMBLE Whisk sour cream into remaining dressing. Add remaining hard-cooked eggs and egg white to dressing and, using potato masher, mash until only small pieces remain. Add dressing and celery to cooled potatoes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 -minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve. (Salad can be refrigerated in airtight container for 2 days.).

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, begin the dressing. Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Add the mixture to a food processor along with the mustard, celery seed and the yolk of 1 of the hard-boiled eggs. Pulse until combined.
• Drain the potatoes and add to a large bowl. Toss together with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and reserve the remaining dressing in the food processor. Chill the potatoes in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Finish the dressing by adding the mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 2 eggs plus the egg white and 1 cup of the potatoes, reserving the remaining potatoes for the salad. Process until smooth yet with some texture remaining.
