AMISH POTATO SALAD

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. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
• Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing. Refrigerate until serving. I personally like this to sit for at least a day before serving to let the flavors blend, but you may serve it as soon as it is chilled.

CLASSIC AMERICAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring to ensure even cooking, until a thin-bladed paring knife or a metal skewer inserted into a potato can be removed with no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Cool slightly.
• Cut warm potatoes into 3/4-inch dice with a serrated knife. Layer them in a bowl, seasoning with vinegar, salt and pepper as you go. Cut eggs, celery and pickle in 1/4-inch dice and thinly slice scallions. Add to potatoes, along with parsley. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard until everything is combined. Chill, covered, before serving.

DEBBIE'S PERSONAL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and cut raw potatoes into cubes. Rinse well and boil for 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside. Make sure these are totally dry before mixing your potato salad. I often set them on a clean towel spread out on a cookie sheet for about half an hour.
• Boil eggs, shell, rinse with cold water, chop and set aside. Chop Vidalia onion and also set aside.
• When boiled potatoes are air dried, mix cubed potatoes, chopped eggs and onion in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate small bowl mix the miracle whip salad dressing, Green Goddess salad dressing, salt and black pepper. Pour over potatoes, egg and onion mixture and gently mix together. You may top with a gentle shake of paprika, and or sliced boiled eggs. Chill and serve.
• Note: Some people enjoy more sauce in their salads, so just increase the two salad dressings per your personal taste. Be sure to increase or decrease your salt and pepper as well.
