- 4 pound potatoes, Yukon Gold, medium size, washed and eyes removed
- 12 ounce IPA such as Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
- 2 tablespoon salt, kosher
- 1 recipe Honey Mustard Pale Ale Sauce recipe here
- 1/2 cup White Miso Malt Vinegar Mayonnaise, recipe here
- 2 tablespoon parsley, Italian leaf, fresh chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon thyme, fresh leaves only, chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon chives, fresh, chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon hops, cascade, whole cone, available at Beer Beer and More Beer
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thin (about one whole onion)
- 3 each celery, stalks, washed and chopped fine
- 1/2 each onion, red, medium peeled and sliced thin
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, sun dried, packed in oil, julienned (optional)
- Prepare the potatoes by cutting them into quarters or sixths, depending on the size. Add the potatoes to a large pot and add 12 ounces beer, then top with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by an inch. Add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, but not falling apart, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then transfer them to a sheet tray, arranging them in a single layer. Let cool to room temperature.
- As the potatoes are cooking and cooling, prepare the dressing. In a medium-size bowl, add the Honey Pale Ale Mustard Sauce, White Miso Malt Vinegar Mayonnaise, herbs and cascade hops (if using). Using a whisk, blend to combine evenly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the green onions, celery, red onions, and sun-dried tomatoes. Add the cooled potatoes and toss with 1/2 to 3/4 of the dressing. Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning along with more dressing if needed (to achieve the desired consistency). Transfer the salad to a decorative bowl, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. The potato salad can be made up to two days in advance. Before serving, lightly toss the salad again, adding more dressing to refresh it. Additional dressing before serving is necessary to prevent the salad from drying out if made in advance. Garnish with more chopped herbs before serving.
