Amish Potato Salad from Cook's Country (America's Test Kitchen) image

You can substitute an equal amount of celery salt for the celery seed, but if you do, eliminate the (unflavored) salt from the dressing. Make sure to use sturdy Yukon Golds here, fluffy russets will fall apart in the salad.

AMISH POTATO SALAD



Amish Potato Salad image

This is an authentic recipe from a family that makes it and sells it at a local market. Amish potato salad is sweeter than regular potato salad. PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTN TO STEP 3! You DO NOT pour the whole dressing on - you pour on as much as you want. You might want to pour a little bit and let it sit overnight and pour on more the next day as it will soak in.

AMISH POTATO SALAD



Amish Potato Salad image

I got this from an Amish cooking website. It takes some time to make, but it's super easy. This is pure comfort food! Note: a reviewer said that this tastes even better after a day of refrigeration; allowing the flavors to meld. Also, feel free to use a little less sugar if you'd prefer.

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 medium white potatoes with skin
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 c celery, chopped
1 c carrots, chopped
1 tsp celery seed
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 c white sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c milk
1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
3 Tbsp butter
1 c mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. The best way to boil potatoes is to start out by covering them with cold water in a large pot, then bring it to a boil. Cook them for approximately 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and let them cool.
  • 2. While the potatoes are cooking, you can put the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a pan and whisk it all together. Then, stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook this mixture over medium heat, while stirring. You want it to thicken. Do this for approx.10 minutes. Then take the pot off the heating element and stir in that butter. Put it in the fridge until it's cooled down. Once it's cooled, you can stir in the mayonnaise.
  • 3. Peel the cooled potatoes (you can leave them unpeeled if you prefer your potato salad more rustic). Cut the potatoes into roughly medium-sized pieces and then put them into a big bowl. Give them a good, but gentle, toss as you add the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs.
  • 4. Last, you can gently fold in your prepared dressing. Refrigerate. Relax. You're done! It tastes the best after a day of chilling because the flavors really get a chance to meld together for max enjoyment.

AMISH POTATO SALAD



Amish Potato Salad image

Amish potato salad is a tangy, slightly sweet version of potato salad that will be welcome at any barbecue or picnic. Made popular by Walmart ®, it gets tang and color from apple cider vinegar and yellow mustard and a touch of sweetness from pickle relish and a dash of sugar. Some of the potatoes get blended in with the dressing to give the salad the chunky-yet-creamy texture that we love.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 medium white potatoes with skin
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 teaspoon celery seed
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard.

Amish Potato Salad Recipes: Valuable Tips

Potato salad is a beloved side dish, and Amish potato salad is a classic version that has stood the test of time. Made with simple ingredients and a creamy dressing, it's a staple at picnics, potlucks, and family gatherings. If you're looking to make the best Amish potato salad possible, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind.

1. Use the Right Potatoes

The type of potatoes you use for your Amish potato salad is crucial to its success. You want to use a variety that holds its shape when cooked, and doesn't get too mushy or watery. Russet potatoes are too starchy and will fall apart, while waxy potatoes like new potatoes or red potatoes are perfect. Just be sure to cut them into uniform pieces before cooking so they cook evenly.

2. Boil the Potatoes Correctly

Boiling the potatoes correctly is also important for making the best Amish potato salad. You want to start with cold water and salt it generously. Place the potatoes in the pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Don't let the water boil too vigorously or the potatoes may fall apart. Cook until fork-tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

3. Dress the Potatoes While They're Still Warm

Amish potato salad gets its characteristic creaminess from the dressing, which should be added while the potatoes are still warm. The heat from the potatoes will help the dressing ingredients meld together and infuse the potatoes with flavor. Don't let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing, or the end result won't be as tasty.

4. Use a Creamy Dressing

The dressing for Amish potato salad is typically a combination of mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Use a good-quality mayonnaise and mix in the other ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, and a dash of hot sauce is also a nice touch if you like a bit of heat.

5. Add Crunchy Texture

Amish potato salad is traditionally made with celery and onion for crunchy texture and flavor. You can also add diced pickles, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or even bacon bits for more crunch and flavor. Just be careful not to overload the salad with too many additions, or it may become overwhelming.

6. Chill Before Serving

Once you've mixed the dressing and other ingredients with the warm potatoes, you should chill the salad before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the dressing to adhere to the potatoes. Serve the Amish potato salad cold, garnished with chopped parsley or paprika for a colorful finish.

7. Don't Be Afraid to Experiment

While there's no substitute for a classic Amish potato salad, don't be afraid to experiment with your own flavor combinations. Try different herbs, spices, or vegetables to add your own personal touch. The beauty of potato salad is that it's adaptable and can be customized to suit your tastes.

Conclusion

Amish potato salad is a simple yet delicious side dish that's perfect for any occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can make the best version possible and impress your friends and family. Just remember to use the right potatoes, boil them correctly, dress them while warm, and add crunchy texture. Chill before serving and don't be afraid to experiment, and you'll have a potato salad that's sure to please.
