Continuing on our “Smoked Dinner” theme, the perfect pairing for those BBQ Pork Ribs is this recipe for Smoked Gouda Potato Salad.
Gouda Potato Salad
Why gouda? It’s a semi-hard cheese that still manages to come off as soft and creamy. When it’s smoked, the soft, complex woody flavors give it a meaty bite. I can’t entirely trace why I was inspired to add this to potato salad, but its texture replicates the typical addition of hard boiled egg. That little bit of spring and chew, giving variety to the salad along with smooth creamy potatoes and crunchy celery.
Of course, the magic of potato salad is in the actual taters. Be sure to watch the video to get my not-so-secret tip for perfect potatoes!
This salad is a cross between the vinegar based German-style potato salads and the more American mayo/mustard kinds. It’s a little creamy, it’s a little tangy, and it suits my tastes just right.
