I spent quite a few years fiddling with this recipe to achieve a great taste. This recipe is for two or three people. You can always increase the amounts for more servings.

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large potatoes (golds, russets your choice)
3 large hard boiled eggs
1/4 medium sweet onion
1 stalk(s) celery chopped
2 large heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tsp heaping teaspoon of plain yellow mustard
1 tsp dried dill flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2-3 pkg artificial sweetner

Steps:

  • 1. Boil 3 Large whole potatoes (skin still on) until they are slightly tender. I like russets and they hold together well. I stick a fork in them to see if it slides in easily, and then they are done. Boil 3 large eggs, and then set the whole potatoes and eggs in the refrigerator for an hour until they are cool.
  • 2. Peel the potatoes after they are cool. I scrape them using the back of a butter knife as the skins will easily peel right off that way using that method. Cut the potatoes down the middle length wise, and then slice thinly. (about 1/8 inch slices.) Put them in a bowl.
  • 3. Peel the eggs and then slice using an egg slicer or knife until they are about 1/8 of an inch thick. Add them to the bowl.
  • 4. Chop a stalk of celery into small pieces and slice 1/4 sweet onion into thin pieces. Add both to the bowl that has the potatoes and eggs in it.
  • 5. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, dill flakes and 2-3 packs of artificial sweetener until combined. I use artificial sweetener to avoid the grainy taste of regular sugar. Add this mixture to the bowl with the other ingredients and stir until blended.
  • 6. You can add more or less artificial sweetener depending on your taste. This recipe tastes best with the dill and sweeter have the perfect savory/sweet taste.
  • 7. Serve at room temperature.

AMAZING POTATO SALAD



Amazing Potato Salad image

I found this recipe in my Food and Wine magazine back in June 1997. The lady who created it is named Elizabeth. I have been making it this way since then. I have made it for parties and it is so liked by everyone that most people leave with the recipe. I hope you all enjoy this as much as we have. NOTE: Cook time and prep time does not include cooling times for eggs and potatoes. Don't let the amount of servings scare you, I normally reduce the amounts depending on how many people I am feeding. Just cut everything in half.
