MOM'S DANISH POTATO SALAD



Mom's Danish Potato Salad image

A easy-to-make inexpensive potato salad. The homemade dressing for this is really good and I feel what makes it so good, and works equally well with macaroni salad. This is my mom's recipe, and her mom made it before her. I use about 6 hard-boiled eggs because I like my potato salad with more eggs. The prep and cook time is only a estimate, as I've never timed how long it takes to make this. If you use mayo instead of Miracle Whip I'd suggest starting with only 1 T. sugar and adding more to taste as mayo is sweeter than Miracle Whip. And of course please feel free to adapt this recipe ingredient-wise to your familie's preferences.

DANISH POTATO SALAD



Danish Potato Salad image

This recipe for Danish Cold Potato Salad, or Kold Kartoffelsalat as we called it in Denmark, is a great summer side dish and is a most-have for a traditional Nordic barbecue party. Cold Potato Salad is a fantastic side dish for most types of meat especially sausages and pork made on a grill. It is very easy to prepare and it has a great and fresh taste which is perfect for a hot summer day. For me, this dish has some great memories attached to it. I always remember it from my childhood and that we almost always had it as a side dish in the summer time. I did grow up in a family where almost all dinners, during the summer period, were prepared on a grill in the garden - so of course we did eat a lot of Danish Cold Potato Salad.

My grandma makes the best potato salad, but she doesn't use a recipe! So I watched while she put together "a little of this and a little of that" and jotted a recipe that comes close. The creamy dressing also works well for making deviled eggs.
