This salad is perfect for picnics, barbecues, or as a comforting side dish. Here’s how to make this delicious salad step-by-step.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the Kipfler potatoes thoroughly; do not peel.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool. Once cooled, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- While the potatoes are cooling, cook the bacon strips in a frying pan over medium heat until they are crispy.
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Place the eggs in a small pot and cover with water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Peel the eggs and chop them roughly.
- Peel the shallots and finely chop them.
- Wash the spearmint leaves and chop them coarsely.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cooled potatoes, chopped bacon, shallots, chopped eggs, and spearmint.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing.
- Transfer the Kipfler potato salad to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with extra chopped spearmint if desired.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld for about an hour before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not falling apart, to maintain their structure in the salad.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy for an added crunch in your salad.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before mixing them with the mayonnaise and other ingredients to prevent the mayonnaise from melting.
- Use fresh spearmint for the best flavor; dried spearmint will not give the same fresh taste.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
- For a creamier texture, you can add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Your Kipfler potato salad is now ready to be served. This salad is a wonderful balance of flavors and textures, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Enjoy it chilled or at room temperature, and see how it quickly becomes a family favorite.
