KITTENCAL'S RANCH POTATO SALAD OR MACARONI SALAD



Kittencal's Ranch Potato Salad or Macaroni Salad image

I have made this many times over the years for large gatherings, everyone loves it and I am always asked for the recipe --- the dressing is wonderful with potatoes or cooked pasta, you may of coarse double the amounts to feed more people --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, throw in some cooked ham or bacon if desired, plan ahead this salad must chill for at least 3 or more hours before serving, the longer chilling time the better! --- if making the potato salad and prefer a creamier salad then double the dressing amount

POTATO MACARONI SALAD



Potato Macaroni Salad image

A friend gave me this recipe many, many years ago. The measurements for the mayo and miracle whip are estimates, Kuniko measured with a wooden spoon! (1 scoop for Miracle Whip and 3-4 scoops for Best Foods Mayonnaise). i add some Maui onion to mine but it's just as good without it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

KITTENCAL'S BAKED POTATO SALAD CASSEROLE (OR COLD POTATO SALAD)



Kittencal's Baked Potato Salad Casserole (Or Cold Potato Salad) image

This may be served hot as a casserole or reduce the melted butter amount down to 2 tablespoons and serve as a cold potato salad, either way it's delicious! --- If you are serving hot as a casserole I strongly recommend to have the potatoes cooled to room temperature before using in this recipe or use cold potatoes that have been cooked a day ahead, I have even made this using about 5 cups of thawed frozen hash browns, the complete casserole may be assembled and refrigerated for up to 2 days ahead before baking although it's so delicious cold it might not even make it to the oven, and also makes a large amount which makes this *perfect* dish for potlucks --- if you are baking as a casserole use only mayonnaise such as Hellman's using salad dressing will not be as good.
