Are you a superfan of potatoes like me?
I absolutely love potato salad and inventing craveable mash-ups. This recipe is dedicated to my mom and BFF, Pam!!! She loves Caesar salad, and every time she orders it at a steakhouse, she says she feels like Elizabeth Taylor. (People say they look alike; what do you think?)
Whenever my family and I went to a steakhouse, Caeser salad and potatoes were always the happy sidekicks to the steak. So mom, for you and all my Chop Happy friends, I combined the two in a totally creamy, cheesy, and starchily satisfying potato salad.
This recipe is great because you learn lots of techniques to make you a home cook superstar.
Technique Tips:
- Boil your potatoes in chicken stock (or veggie stock, if vegetarian) instead of water. It will infuse more flavor into your potatoes, guaranteeing a yummy potato inside and out. Use a microplane to grate garlic. This is easier than chopping and it saves time, but most importantly this allows the garlic to mix and distribute evenly throughout the dressing.
-
Hold the lemon with the cut side up to avoid lemon seeds in the food.
-
The Caesar dressing in this recipe is excellent not just for the potato salad but also as a basic dressing you can use on salads or as a dip. (See recipe below.)
-
As always, this recipe is part of my mission to provide you with 2 goals:1) To make amazingly simple homemade comfort food.2) To learn fun tips to make cooking fun.
