Preparation

Step 1

To make the salad

Set potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until tender - about 25 minutes. Drain off the water and let cool. Cut each potato into 1/4" slices.

In a large bowl, gently toss together sliced potatoes, red onion, green onions, celery, parsley, pickles, beer and vinegar.

To make the dressing

In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add 3/4 cup yellow onion and cook until tender - about 3 minutes. Stir in beer, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil - let cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Process mixture with Dijon in a food processor until smooth. While the processor is running, slowly pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Process until well combined and smooth. Pour dressing over potato mixture and gently toss to coat.

Makes about 6-8 servings.
