MOM'S BEST POTATO SALAD



Mom's Best Potato Salad image

This recipe was shared with me by my mom. This is THE BEST potato salad I have ever had! Whenever we have family get-togethers, I always ask my mom to bring this salad! The vegetables add such a nice refreshing crunch. My mom also likes to add 1/4 cup diced green pepper and 1/4 cup diced cucumber, but I prefer it without.

MY MOM'S GOOD OLD POTATO SALAD

I have enjoyed this recipe for years, and now so do my children. The secret to this recipe is the sweet pickles. You can also trade the mayo for salad dressing.

MOM'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

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.
