Mom's Super Stupendous Potato Salad Recipe image

In college, my best friend and I debated whose mom made the best potato salad. Turns out they were almost identical! Even though I've since tweaked our recipe, it still takes me home again. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 garlic clove, peeled
3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
6 hard-cooked large eggs, divided
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Skewer garlic with a toothpick (to make it easy to find after cooking). Place potatoes, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and skewered garlic in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving garlic; remove skewer and crush garlic.
  • Meanwhile, chop five eggs. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, paprika, pepper, garlic and remaining vinegar and salt. Stir in potatoes, chopped eggs, onion and celery. Refrigerate 4 hours or until cold.
  • Just before serving, slice remaining egg. Top salad with egg; sprinkle with parsley and, if desired, additional paprika.
  • Yield: 12 servings.
