Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds red new potatoes (no bigger than golf balls), cut into eighths
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons lemon juice plus 2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced celery, plus 1 heaping tablespoon chopped celery leaves

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover them with cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice, mustard, shallot, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and tap out any excess water so the potatoes are as dry as possible. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large bowl. Add the diced celery, vinaigrette, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss to combine. Garnish with the celery leaves and lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories     Salad     Citrus     Potato     Side     Bacon

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 strips Lemon Bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 lbs. baby red potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
Juice from 1 small lemon
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. honey
Chives, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Scrub potatoes and place in a large pot of water. Cut large potatoes in half if needed so they are uniform in size. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-30 minutes or until tender. 2. Drain potatoes and then place in a large bowl or dish to cool. When cool enough to handle, remove the potato skins with a knife. You may leave the skins on if desired. Cut into small 1” chunks and place half the potatoes in another bowl. 3. Mix the mayo, lemon juice, Dijon, honey and chopped chives. Add salt and pepper and adjust seasoning to taste. May add more lemon juice or honey if you want it more tangy vs. more sweet. 4. Pour half the liquid mixture over half the potatoes. Mix until combined. Continue to peel and chop the cooked potatoes and add to the bowl. When all the potatoes are peeled, pour the rest of the mayo mix over the potatoes and stir again. 5. Allow to chill for 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, add the chopped bacon and additional chives as garnish (if desired). Serve and enjoy!
