Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 medium potatoes
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
6 hard-cooked eggs, diced
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
salt to taste
½ cup vinegar
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
¼ cup butter
1 cup mayonnaise

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. Cool, peel and dice. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, 1 teaspoon of salt, and hard-cooked eggs.
  • 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.
  • Stir the dressing into the bowl of potato salad gently until evenly coated. Chill several hours or overnight before serving for best flavor.

Once I started adding bacon to my potato salad, there was no going back! This recipe is savory, without the sweetness of pickle relish or sugar. We love it. Sometimes I substitute sliced green olives for the dill pickles.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pound(s) red or yukon potatoes
1/2 cup(s) diced onion
1/2 to 1 cup(s) dukes mayonnaise, regular or light
1/2 cup(s) (or more) cooked and crumbled bacon
1/4 cup(s) chopped dill pickles
1 or 2 - boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
1-2 dash(es) of paprika
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes if desired, or just scrub them clean. Cut into 1/2" dice. Cover with cold water, cover pan, and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 10-15 minutes until fork-soft. (You don't want them mushy.) Add diced onions to potatoes during last 2-3 minutes of cooking. When done, drain immediately and cover with ice water for 5 minutes.
  • Combine potatoes, onions, and mayonnaise gently until well blended. Fold in bacon, pickles, and eggs if desired. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pile mixture in a pretty serving dish and sprinkle the top with a little paprika for color. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
