My Grandma Sneltjes made this potato salad all summer long at the cabin. The secret to its goodness is the dressing you make yourself! This is a big enough recipe to feed a crowd! Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup water |
3/4 cup vinegar, tarragon flavored if possible |
3 eggs, beaten fluffy |
5 lbs potatoes, peeled, cooked and diced |
5 green onions |
1 large onion |
6 eggs, hard boiled and chopped |
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, grandma always used spin blend salad dressing |
Directions:
1. In a sauce pan stir together sugar, flour, mustard and salt. Mix in water, vinegar and eggs. Cook over low to medium until thick, letting mixture bubble up a couple of times, stirring constantly.
2. Pour into a glass jar, seal and refrigerate (this can be done up to a week beforehand).
3. Boil potatoes. Let cool (sprinkle a little tarragon vinegar on them while cooling) and cut into 1/2 chunks.
4. Thinly slice entire green onions and mix with home dressing with mayonnaise, then mix in diced onion.
5. Mix potatoes and diced hard boiled eggs with the dressing.
