Creamy Potato Salad with Crunchy Fennel

Creamy Potato Salad with Crunchy Fennel - When it comes to side dishes, potato salad is a timeless favorite at picnics, barbecues, and family gatherings. While classic traditional versions typically rely on celery and onion for their crunch and flavor, this creamy potato salad, which can be made with either red or gold potatoes, or a combination of the two, incorporates a generous amount of chopped fennel bulb and finely chopped fennel fronds for a refreshing crunch and an unexpected fresh burst of flavor.

Imagine you’ve been invited to a picnic or outside gathering. Now, try to imagine which side dish you would most want to see there. Would it be a pasta salad with lots of fresh vegetables, diced cubes of cheddar cheese, and possibly some green or black olives mixed in? Or maybe a tangy coleslaw made with both red and green cabbage? Or, if you’re like me, would it be a super-creamy potato salad with just the right amount of seasoning and homemade dressing? Given a choice between all three of those side dishes, nine times out of ten, I’m headed straight for the potato salad. And if the potato salad just so happens to be this version, loaded with lots of crunchy and flavorful fennel, before anything else even hits my sadly all-too-flimsy paper plate, I’m probably making a beeline straight for the potato salad.

Directions:

  1. Fill a large pot 3/4 full with cold water and add the coarse sea salt.
  2. Wash or brush any dirt off of the potatoes under cold running water. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces, somewhat uniform in size.
  3. Add the cut potatoes to the pot of cold water. Cook the potatoes on high heat for 18 to 22 minutes, or until fork tender.
  4. Drain the cooked potatoes and gently rinse them under cold running water for 1 minute to help cool them down. Make sure to drain off any excess water.
  5. To make the potato salad dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, heavy whipping cream, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ground sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a large glass bowl.
  6. Add the drained potatoes into the bowl of salad dressing along with the chopped fennel bulb and finely chopped fennel fronds. Gently stir to combine.
  7. Tightly cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Suggestions:

  • I used a combination of potatoes for this salad. I used medium red potatoes and small gold potatoes. You can use whatever variety of potatoes you prefer. Just make sure to cut the potatoes into the same approximate size so that they cook somewhat evenly.
  • I did not peel any of the potatoes for this recipe. If you prefer the potatoes peeled, go ahead and peel them.
  • Start testing the tenderness of the potatoes after 18 minutes. You want to make sure that the potatoes are cooked through and tender but do not overcook and become mushy. The amount of time the potatoes take to cook will depend on how small or large you cut them.
  • Two small bulbs of fresh fennel will yield approximately 2 cups of finely chopped fennel. You can use a little less or a little more depending on the size of the fennel bulbs you purchase.
  • Some bulbs of fennel have lots of fronds while others have very few fronds. I used a 1/4 cup in this recipe. If your fennel bulbs have less fronds, you may have to use less in this recipe.
  • Since this potato salad has vinegar in it, make sure to use a glass or ceramic bowl to make and store it.
  • Reserve a few very finely chopped fennel fronds to garnish the potato salad.
