Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lb red or russet potatoes
2 pkg 12.oz bacon
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c vinegar
2 1/4 c water
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c flour or cornstarch
1 to 2 Tbsp water
medium crock pot
large bowl

Steps:

  • 1. Peel all of the potatoes, cook until done, but not mushy. You want them to be a little firm, but not undercooked. Cool down so you can hold them to cut them into chunks like in roast. I cut the potatoes in long halves and then cut into the chunks.
  • 2. Put the vinegar, sugar and 1st Water ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil. Stir frequently. Turn off the heat. In a separate measuring cup or a tall cup, mix the 1/2c Flour "or" Cornstarch with the 1 tbsp water to start out with and add little amounts of water to the mixture to make it a gravy type of consistency. You don't want this too runny. Then once mixed add it to the saucepan with the other ingredients. Stir well.
  • 3. Cut up or snip with scissors the Bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and fry until crispy. Save the grease. Chop up the onion.
  • 4. Put Potatoes, onion, and Bacon into Large Mixing Bowl (It's Easier to mix together) pour sauce over everything in bowl. With the bacon grease add 4 to 6 tbsp, salt and pepper to taste and again stir. Transfer the mixture into the Crock Pot and put it on high for the 1st hour or you see it bubbling and then turn on low. It needs to all soak in the potatoes. I give it at least 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Then Serve and enjoy! It really taste great the next day reheated!

BEST WARM POTATO SALAD EVER!



BEST WARM POTATO SALAD EVER! image

I was taught a very similar recipe by a friend who is a great chef in Chicago. When I moved back home to LA (that's Lower Alabama), my version was met with a LOT of skepticism from my friends and family, but as time went by it became (almost)everyone's favorite. My apologies to the many older cousins, aunts, etc., whose lives I ruined with my "yankee ways" LOL, but after all - you keep the best of the old and make room for the new. And just look at it this way - you can save money now because you don't have to cook so much at family gatherings now! LOL

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pound(s) new red potatoes (the little red ones)
1/2 cup(s) mayonnaise
1 bunch(es) green onions - chopped in about 1/4" pieces
1/2 cup(s) roasted red peppers -mezzeta brand in pickle section best
1 teaspoon(s) dill weed - dried in spice aisle - not fresh
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) dry ground mustard

Steps:

  • scrub potatoes and remove eyes, but DO NOT peel. Half or quarter potatoes until all chunks are approximately no larger than about an 1-1/2". Boil until tender, but not mushy. When fork will penetrate all the way through the largest piece with no resistance. Drain when done and put aside until cooled slightly. NOT in fridge as this recipe is served warmed and NEVER cold.
  • Chop roasted red peppers into approx. 1" pieces and mix with remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and add to warm potatoes. Toss all until potatoes are coated with mixture. Do not over mix or mix with really hot potatoes or you'll end up with flavored mashed potatoes! If the salad appears too dry, you can add just a little of the juice the peppers are canned in.

BEST EVER POTATO SALAD



Best Ever Potato Salad image

Potato Salad is another thing I've never been crazy about, until I found this recipe!! I will lick the spoons clean when I'm done putting it all together & cleaning up. The reason: dry mustard instead of prepared. It still has plenty of zing, but not one that says "don'cha love the mustard?" ;-) Recipe is from the United Methodist Cookbook 1984, Albert Lea, MN ala Ellen Adams. Thanks for the cookbook, Mom! Note: It's going in, as printed, for 25 people, but I often cut in half or quarters, depending on where it's going.

Time 2h30m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 lbs potatoes, cubed, boiled
1 cup oil (salad, canola, whatever you generally use)
3/4 cup vinegar
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups mayonnaise
12 eggs, hard boiled, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
2 sweet red peppers, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine oil, vinegar, onion, salt, basil, mustard & pepper & mix well.
  • When potatoes are tender, but not mushy, drain, place in large bowl & pour this marinade over them. Toss gently until absorbed.
  • Gently stir in eggs & vegetables.
  • Mix mayonnaise & milk together & fold into the potato mixture.
  • Chill several hours before serving.
  • Note: I cube my potatoes before they go into the pot to boil. They cook faster & I don't have to cube hot potatoes! Just watch them, because you don't want them mushy!
  • "Cooking Time" is chilling time,.
