Phyll's Potato Salad image

This is the recipe my sister always uses and I ask her to make it whenever I have a family gathering. The potatoes are always cooked just right and the lemon juice adds a surprising and unexpected flavor that brightens the whole salad. I warn you, though ..... once you taste it you'll never want another potato salad again. It's absolutely delicious!!!

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 pound(s) potatoes, unpeeled or peeled
3/4 cup(s) chopped onion
1/4 cup(s) lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground mustard powder
4 large hard cooked eggs, chopped
3-4 stalk(s) celery, sliced
2 cup(s) mayonnaise
smoked paprika, garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes (all equal size) in a large pot. Add cold water to cover. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked (but NOT soft!) depending on size of potatoes. Drain and cool until easy to handle.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, combine the chopped onion, lemon juice, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Set aside.
  • If desired, peel potatoes while still hot. Cut into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour lemon juice mixture over potatoes while still hot. Gently toss to coat all pieces. Cool for one (1) hour.
  • Add the chopped celery and hard cooked eggs to the potatoes. Add the mayonnaise and toss gently to coat all pieces. Garnish with a dusting of smoked paprika, if desired.
