Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup olive juice
  • 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Add-ins

  • 1 cup green martini olives, sliced or chopped
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Place peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then cook the potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a knife, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, olive juice, chopped chives, and celery seed in a large serving bowl. Season the dressing with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Combine ingredients: Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly. Add the drained potatoes to the bowl with the dressing, then fold in the sliced or chopped green martini olives and crumbled blue cheese. Gently stir until all ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing.
  4. Chill and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy this bold and briny Dirty Martini Potato Salad as a flavorful side for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust olive juice quantity to taste depending on desired brininess.
  • Blue cheese can be substituted with feta for a milder flavor.
  • Chill salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Salad can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
