Potato Salad with Boston Lager Dressing Recipe

I'm looking forward to the late spring and summer seasons when my family get's together on a monthly basis for backyard barbecues and family picnics. We hold our family get-together's once a month from April through October and we always have a great time. To make it easy on everyone, we rotate homes and everyone brings a potluck dish!

Today I'm sharing a guest-post recipe with all of you that's perfect for all of your summer parties, backyard barbecues and family get-together's.

Warm Potato Salad with Boston Lager Dressing Recipe

For the Potatoes:

2½ pounds red potatoes
½ cup finely chopped mild red or yellow onions
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp. chopped chives

For the Dressing:

6 tbsp. olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onions
¾ cup Samuel Adams Boston Lager
3 tbsp. malt or cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

For the Dressing:

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in small frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the Boston Lager, vinegar and sugar and boil for about 5 minutes. Put into food processor with mustard. On low, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

For the Potatoes:

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Remove and immediately peel and slice into ¼ inch rounds. While potatoes are warm, gently mix them with onions, parsley, and beer dressing. Do not over mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped chives.
