New York Deli Potato Salad image

I have only found my favorite potato salad in delicatessens in New York City and Long Island and in some Italian and Jewish delis elsewhere. After much searching, a friend on Long Island sent me this recipe which comes as close to perfection as any I've tried. The recipe may be cut down as the quantities are for a party.

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 lbs new potatoes
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup water

3/4 cup vegetable oil
Hellmann's mayonnaise
parsley (to garnish)
grated carrot (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes over 32-40 oz. water.
  • Peel while hot. (You can actually scrape off the skin by hand under cold water.).
  • Cool in refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Mix next seven ingredients in a bowl, adding oil last.
  • Slice the potatoes in 1/4" slices into a very large bowl.
  • Fold in the mixture.

  • Spread in large, flat serving dishes and garnish. (I used fresh parsley and finely grated carrots for color.).
