Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Meat Substitute
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized cubes
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
Dressing
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and cutting the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender but firm enough to hold their shape, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool completely to avoid a watery salad.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the potatoes cool, crisp the smoked turkey bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Once golden and crunchy, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Chop into small pieces for a perfect bite-sized boost of smokiness.
- Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together plant-based mayonnaise, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), yellow mustard (natural), apple cider vinegar, and a touch of natural gelling agent for thickness. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting acidity and creaminess as you like.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped smoked turkey bacon, diced celery, sliced green onions, and fresh dill into the dressing. Mix just enough to coat without mashing the potatoes, preserving a satisfying texture.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to marry beautifully, offering you that authentic Steakhouse Potato Salad experience at your next BBQ.
Notes
- Choose the right potato: Yukon Golds provide creaminess without falling apart.
- Do not overcook potatoes to maintain texture and prevent mushiness.
- Prepare ahead as the salad tastes better after resting in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
- Balance flavors by adjusting vinegar and mustard slowly to achieve the perfect tangy creaminess.
- Garnish with fresh herbs just before serving to keep the salad vibrant and fresh.
