10 celebrity-chef potato salad recipes to make this July 4

To make a Barefoot Contessa-approved potato salad, you’ll need small red potatoes, Dijon and whole-grain mustard, fresh dill, celery, and red onion. Garten also recommends boiling the potatoes until they’re barely tender, then letting them steam in a colander under a kitchen towel until tender but firm. 

She also recommends not serving the potato salad right away. Instead, she says to toss it well, cover it, and refrigerate the salad for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.

“Iron Chef” host Alton Brown makes his potato salad recipe with red potatoes, garlic, cornichons, onions, and celery. Like Garten, he recommends letting the salad sit for at least an hour before serving.

Martha Stewart’s potato salad recipe is surprisingly simple. It only calls for either Yukon gold or new potatoes, white wine vinegar, scallions, salt, pepper, and light mayonnaise.

Drummond’s recipe for “perfect” potato salad recommends using russet potatoes, cutting them into halves or thirds before boiling them, and lightly mashing them to make them fluffy.

In addition to pickles, pickle juice, and hard-boiled eggs, she also adds mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, dill, and other seasonings.

Joanna Gaines’ potato salad recipe calls for red potatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and hard-boiled eggs. The “Fixer Upper” star also adds bacon and jalapeño to the potato salad for a slight kick.

Giada De Laurentiis’s recipe adds freshness to a standard potato salad by dressing baby red potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon zest before roasting them in the oven. She also recommends topping the salad with gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts.

Sanchez keeps his potato salad recipe pretty simple — he doesn’t even use mayonnaise. Instead, the celebrity chef uses sour cream along with cilantro, lime juice, scallions, and olive oil.

While Bobby Flay’s recipe has delicious ingredients, it won’t be as creamy as some potato salads you’re used to. There’s no mayonnaise in this recipe, only a light dressing made with apple cider vinegar and mustard.

British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s potato salad recipe includes sour cream, yogurt, breadcrumbs, pancetta, and chives. This savory, slightly crispy potato salad may be a bit unusual, but it will likely still impress the guests at your next summer cookout.
