Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork (approximately 10-12 minutes).
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander.
- Allow them to cool to room temperature or refrigerate them to speed up the process.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or use a skillet over medium heat.
- Arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or directly on the skillet.
- Bake or fry until the prosciutto is crispy and light brown, about 10 minutes in the oven or 3-4 minutes per side in the skillet.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool, crumble the prosciutto into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, chopped tarragon, and mustard.
- Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Once the potatoes are cool, add them to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the crumbled prosciutto over the top of the potato salad.
- Gently fold the prosciutto into the salad to distribute it evenly.
- For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve cold as a side dish.
Tips:
- Choose a waxy potato variety like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss for the best texture.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, not mushy, to maintain a good texture.
- For an extra burst of flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
- Add other crunchy vegetables like celery or radish for additional texture if desired.
This creamy potato salad with crisp prosciutto is a versatile dish that can elevate any meal. Its combination of textures and flavors is both satisfying and refreshing, making it an excellent choice for any occasion. Enjoy this delicious recipe and the compliments it will surely garner!
