Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lb idaho potatoes, peel and cubed
1/2 medium onion, chopped fine
5 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/4 c sweet pickle cubes or relish
1/2 c dill pickle cubes or relish
1 stalk(s) celery, diced, optional
salt and pepper to taste
1.5-2 c hellman's mayonnaise
1.5-2 Tbsp mustard
paprika, for garnish, optional
1 hard boiled egg, sliced, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes; place in a 5 quart pot, cover with water (I add some salt to water); boil for approximately 7 to 8 minutes (time may vary so check for firmness around 5 to 6 minutes, don't over cook and don't under cook, you don't want mashed potato salad and you don't want under cooked potatoes; drain and rinse in cold water; drain well.
  • 2. While potatoes are draining and cooling off; combine chopped onion and eggs; set aside.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, combine pickles, celery, salt and pepper, mustard and mayonnaise.
  • 4. Once potatoes are cooled; add chopped onion and eggs; fold together gently; add mayonnaise mixture and combine gently with other ingredients; if salad seems like you don't need all the mayonnaise mixture; don't use it all, if salad seems to dry, add additional mayonnaise.
  • 5. Garnish top with sliced boiled eggs and sprinkle with paprika if desired.
  • 6. NOTE: This was an excellent choice for a side to go with https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-jalapeno-bourbon-ribs-dee-dees/pork and https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits.

This is the way my mom made potato salad. She would put all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar and make one of the kids shake it to mix everything. It's the best - imho.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 qts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lbs potatoes
2 cups Miracle Whip
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons relish
1 cup onion
1 cup celery
6 hard-boiled eggs

Steps:

  • Fill a 5 quart pan with potatoes, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. The type of potato you use depends on how you like your potato salad - we like the potatoes to be very well done and cut up fairly small. I usually use russet potatoes. If you use red potatoes, you will get firmer, more indiviualized pieces of potatoes in your salad.
  • After potatoes are cooked, let them cool. Peel and cut up in bite-sized cubes.
  • Make at least 6 hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool and cut them up.
  • Dice up onions and celery.
  • Dressing: Whisk together Miracle Whip, milk, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, mustard and relish.
  • , Mix all ingredients together and fold in dressing.
