Equipment

  • Largebowl

Ingredients

  • 12 Russet Baking Potatoes Medium Size, each a russet canvas awaiting culinary artistry
  • 1/2 cup Artisanal Apple Cider Vinegar crafted from heirloom apples
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Dried Celery Flakes harvested at peak flavour
  • 6 tablespoons Gourmet Mustard a zesty kick
  • 4 Crimson Red Onions Chopped, Medium Size, adding a vibrant hue
  • 8 tablespoons Sun-Dried Parsley crushed for an aromatic burst

  • 6 cups Luxurious Mayonnaise creamy indulgence
  • 1/3 teaspoon Exquisite Smoked Paprika infusing a hint of smoky sophistication
  • Black Pepper To Taste, freshly ground for the perfect finish
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick Celery Salt a pinch of gourmet essence

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Wash and scrub the Russet Baking Potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
  • Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.

Cook the Potatoes:

  • Boil the potato cubes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Dressing:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine Artisanal Apple Cider Vinegar, Sun-Dried Parsley, Minced Dried Celery Flakes, Chopped Crimson Red Onions, Golden Cane Sugar, Gourmet Mustard, Handcrafted Sweet Pickle Relish, Dill Pickles Relish, Luxurious Mayonnaise, McCormick Celery Salt, and Exquisite Smoked Paprika.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Combine Potatoes and Dressing:

  • Gently fold the cooled potato cubes into the prepared dressing, ensuring every piece is coated evenly.

Season to Perfection:

  • Add freshly ground Black Pepper to taste. Adjust salt if necessary, keeping in mind that the celery salt already adds some saltiness.

Chill and Marinate:

  • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle toss to ensure the dressing is well distributed.
  • Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for a finishing touch.

Share the Culinary Artistry:

  • Serve this McAlister’s-inspired Potato Salad at gatherings, picnics, or alongside your favourite dishes.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best flavour and texture.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not too soft.
  • Add more or less seasonings to taste.
  • Let the salad chill for at least an hour before serving.
  • Add some diced pickles or bacon for extra flavour.
