Potato Artichoke Salad with Horseradish Dressing is a zippy twist on potato salad! Potatoes and horseradish are a match made in heaven!
The Fresh Market is a grocery store where I l-o-v-e to shop! Several years ago, they were celebrating their 25th anniversary. As part of their celebration, they were gathering customer recipes for a special cookbook.
The payoff for having a recipe accepted wasn’t huge–you would receive a $25 gift card and a free cookbook. That, however, was not what I was after when I submitted some of my recipes.
I had not yet begun doing my “Dinner for Two” column for the Memphis newspaper, The Commercial Appeal, or this blog, but I knew I loved developing recipes.
By submitting some of my original recipes, I only wanted to see if they were good enough for publication. They ended up accepting five (count ’em five!) of my recipes! Busted a few buttons on that accomplishment!
This Potato Artichoke Salad with Horseradish Dressing is one they accepted.
When it comes to potato salads, I’m a traditional mayo-based dressing kind of girl. I love the classic American-style potato salad with hard-cooked eggs and the top sprinkled with paprika which is just like my mother used to make!
This salad came about one day when I had a craving for classic potato salad but we didn’t have some of the ingredients on hand–like eggs. I pulled this together with what I had on hand at the time.
It’s now my “signature” potato salad that a friend proclaimed, “The Best Potato Salad Ever.” I hope you’ll agree.
Tips for cooking potatoes for potato salad:
- When boiling potatoes for any dish, always start with cold water. A cold water start ensures the potatoes will cook evenly.
- Generously salt the water and cut the potatoes into uniform 2-inch chunks.
- I like to use Russet potatoes in potato salad. However, if they’re overcooked, they fall apart so be sure to keep an eye on them.
- Drain and then quickly (and carefully) spread them out on a baking sheet to cool.
- If left in the pot or in a colander, the potatoes at the bottom will continue to cook. Once they stop steaming, place them into the refrigerator to finish cooling and firm back up.
- After they’re good and cold, cut into bite-sized pieces.
