WORLD'S BEST POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with fork.
• Drain, cool, peel and dice. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the onion, celery, a teaspoon of salt, and hard-cooked eggs.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan.
• Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
• Stir the dressing into the bowl of potato salad gently until evenly coated. Chill several hours or overnight before serving for best flavor.

MR ED'S WORLD FAMOUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in plenty of boiling salted water until a little more than fork-tender. Drain well. Peel as soon as you can handle them using a towel to hold the hot potato. The peeling should come off easy using a knife to gently scrape off the peel.
• While the potatoes are cooking, boil the eggs in salted water. Start timing as soon as water comes to a boil. Cook exactly 12 minutes. Drain and cool under running cold water until cool enough to peel. Peeling under cold water makes the shell come off easier.
• In a large bowl, put the still hot potatoes and run through them with a knife going in all directions to make tiny dices. Don't be afraid to chop them well. Add celery, onions and relish. Stir well.
• Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix well. Add peeled eggs that have been chopped fine. Stir in gently.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. This salad should be on the dry side, not too mushy from mayonnaise. Mr Ed. doesn't measure anything since he's been making this potato salad for more than 50 years. You may want to add half the mayonnaise and then more to get the right consistency or even add more, if needed.
• Once you're satisfied with the salad, cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Note: Mr Ed chops the eggs in the bowl with the potatoes with a chef's knife.

CONNIE'S FAMOUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• First step should be to peel and boil the potatoes.
• Boil the eggs (so eggs are hardboiled).
• I have found that using fresh eggs (just bought from grocery store), leaving them out at room temp for about 15 minutes, and putting salt in the water all help to peel them easily when the time comes.
• I generally put both potatoes and eggs in a separate pot and put them on med heat for about an hour.
• Just test the potatoes.
• You don't want them to soft, but the fork should be able to pierce them easily.
• While waiting for the potatoes and eggs to cook, I usually prepare my other ingredients.
• I cook the bacon, cut up onion and green onion, celery, cilantro.
• You can use the bacon pieces and so forth that you get from the grocery store, but I must say that the taste of fresh bacon really adds to the taste.
• Once the potatoes and eggs are done, slice the potatoes into bite sized pieces and peel the eggs and cut into pieces as well.
• Then add all the other ingredients and stir together.
• The salts and pepper is to taste, but what I do is to take the salts and sprinkle them onto the mixture (back and forth) and just sprinkle the pepper on the same way.
• I must recommend to use a big bowl and when it comes to mixing it all together, the best way is to put your hands right into it (make sure they are washed and cleaned first) and blend it all together.
• Mash it together and blend from the bottom up to the top until the mixture all seems to be the same consistency.
• All together including prep time, it takes about 1/2 hours to make, but it is well worth it.
• I have had many people tell me this is the best potato salad they have ever had and I should market it.
• Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
