Recipe: American potato salad

November 19, 2019 by Shari

Welcome back, thanks for following up for the American potato salad recipe. Sorry I didn’t cram it all into the first post – I just didn’t have the time. And then it makes it easier to search for the recipes if I split them into separate posts.

Is this a ‘traditional’ American potato salad? I don’t really know. I’m calling it ‘American’ cause it’s in a creamy dressing, where as our typical potato salad is more ‘European’ and we use vinegar and olive oil.

I also picked up some reduced tarragon and felt like this was really what made this salad stand out. So if you are a big fan of tarragon, then I highly recommend that you give this salad a go.

Recipe: American potato salad

  • 1 kg of potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/2 a bunch of celery
  • 1/2 bunch of spring onions
  • 1 bunch of tarragon
  • 1/2 cup of mayonasie
  • 1/4 cup of ranch dressing
  • salt and pepper

Ain’t nobody got time for peeling potatoes these days. So just give them a quick wash and then roughly chop and pop into a pot of boiling water. Cook until tender and then drain in a colander and allow to dry – you don’t want your potatoes to be wet because this will make your dressing weak.

Dice the red onion, celery, spring onion and tarragon leaves. Mix with mayonnaise and ranch dressing. Toss with the potatoes and season. Allow to cool in the fridge.

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
