Really Good Potato Salad image

I really don't know where I first came across this recipe.It is very good for those who prefer a non-sweet potato salad. The recipe can be halved, or doubled, based on your needs. The marinated "secret sauce" really does add to the flavor.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp mustard seed
1 and 1/2 tsp celery seed
9 medium potatoes, (3 lbs)
1 c celery, peeled and chopped
1/2 c green onion, thinly sliced
3 - 4 hard-cooked eggs, roughly chopped
2 c mayonnaise (hellmans, best foods)
1 tsp salt
paprika, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Combine vinegar, mustard seed, and celery seed. Let stand at room temperature for several hours. You can crush the seeds, if desired, but it really is not necessary.
  • 2. In covered saucepan, cook potatoes until barely tender; 25 to 30 minutes; drain.
  • 3. In a large bowl, sprinkle the potatoes with 1/2 of the salt. Add celery, onion, and chopped eggs; toss lightly.
  • 4. Combine mayonnaise, remaining salt, and vinegar mixture; add to potatoes; toss to mix. Chill; sprinkle with paprika.
