PPG Tailgating Recipes – Allen’s

Because no cookout/tailgate party is complete without potato salad, here are two quick-and-easy variations:

Lemony Potato Salad

• 3 pounds small boiling potatoes
• 1 cup chopped celery (about 4 ribs)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Cover potatoes with water in a large pot and season well with salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, 12 to 20 minutes.

While potatoes cook, stir together celery, mayonnaise, chives, lemon zest and juice, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.

Drain potatoes and cool completely, then halve or quarter. Add to dressing and toss to coat.

Red Potato Salad

• 12 cups cubed red potatoes
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper (about 1 medium)
• 1/2 cup minced red onion
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayo
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Cook potatoes, covered in boiling water, 10 minutes, or until tender; drain well and cool.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, bell pepper and onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour over potato mixture, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate.
