Ingredients
- 5 pounds red and white table potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large shallow roasting pan with nonstick aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, tossing gently to coat. Arrange the potatoes, in a single layer, on the prepared pan. Bake until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions; cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and add the vinegar. Stir until the vinegar evaporates, about 1 to 2 minutes.
In a large serving bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, remaining salt and pepper and Blue Cheese Dressing. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Blue Cheese Dressing:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (5-ounce) container crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, sour cream, horseradish, and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Yield: about 1 cup

I didn't bother adding the onions.. I just added the balsamic vinegar instead. It was still the best potato salad I've ever had! Yum!

Do not add the blue cheese if you do not like the taste of it. Replace it with feta. Next time I make it I replace the blue cheese.

I didn't have blue cheese or horseradish so I used mild feta, queso blanco and a coupla heaping TBSP of parmesan cheese. In lieu of the horseradish, I put in hot sauce, Dijon mustard and lemon zest. Otherwise, I used what the recipe called for. I also substitiuted Durkee french fried onions for the reg. onion. I sauteed it in olive oil and butter and called it good when they were deeply brown and crunchy. I still used the Balsamic and mixed it all up as the recipe instructed. It was delicious!! Oh, and I minced up a TBSP each of fresh chives and parsley 'cause it dearly needed some greenery. We will absolutely make this again. Oh, and please forgive me - to make it a lil more hearty, I added a large can of chunk chicken. Perfection and so yummy.
