Description
A classic creamy and tangy steakhouse potato salad recipe, perfect as a side dish for grilled meats and barbecues. Made with Yukon Gold potatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon, and fresh chives.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (good quality, full-fat is best for flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (about 1 stalk)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (about 1/4 small onion)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Cook the Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender but not falling apart.
- 2. Drain and Cool: Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for a few minutes. Allow them to cool slightly (10-15 minutes) until warm.
- 3. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice until smooth.
- 4. Combine Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, gently combine the slightly cooled potatoes, chopped celery, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs.
- 5. Add Dressing and Herbs: Pour the dressing over the mixture. Add chopped chives. Gently fold to coat everything evenly without breaking down the potatoes.
- 6. Season and Chill: Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with extra chives before serving.
Notes
Store leftover steakhouse potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Best served cold. Reheating is not generally recommended as it can alter the texture.
