CLASSIC & CREAMY POTATO SALAD



Classic & Creamy Potato Salad image

A classic, simple potato salad that can be thrown together in minutes or made a day ahead! A comfort-food treat for all ages, and easy to change to your preferences (I leave out the eggs for my sister; you could add celery or onion in step 3 or use specialty mustard or vinegar).

Time 15m

Yield 6 cups, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups boiled peeled and sliced potatoes
3 chopped hard-boiled eggs
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 -3 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or 1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
paprika

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle relish until uniform in color and texture.
  • Add vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour sauce over potatoes and eggs; mix gently until potatoes and eggs are evenly coated. (I suggest adding the sauce half at a time so that you can add only enough to coat the potatoes and not have soupy salad!).
  • Put potato salad into serving bowl and garnish as desired with sprinkled paprika (to taste), reserved slices of egg, etc.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 2 days; serve cold.
  • This recipe may be made vegan by omitting eggs and substituting vegan mayonnaise.

This is the Potato Salad I had grown up with...nothing compares to it. So after getting frustrated at my mom's lack of measuring, I was finally able to get the right measurements for my Mom's Classic (Creamy) Potato Salad.

CLASSIC CREAMY POTATO SALAD



Classic Creamy Potato Salad image

This is a recipe I have used for over 30 years. Any family potluck dinner we have, I am always on potato salad duty. I bring a double batch of this old favourite. It always goes fast and I have given out the recipe many times over the years. I cheat a little and make a lower-fat version for my family, but always make the full-fat version for company. New, red potatoes may be used with skins on. This is a chunky one, not meant to be mashed.

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes until fork tender. Cool then cut into cubes.

CLASSIC CREAMY POTATO SALAD



Classic Creamy Potato Salad image

Normally I want to add things to potato salad recipes, but this one is a keeper. It really is the "classic" potato salad. For extra crunch feel free to add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced radishes, chopped cucumber, or chopped bell pepper. This recipe says it serves 10, but I don't think so.
