A great potato salad. It's my Mom's and has a great little tip/secret that makes it the best I've ever tasted. She says it's more the METHOD than the ingredients. Ingredients:
freshly cooked potatoes |
italian salad dressing (or whatever dressing you like, even just oil and vinegar) |
chopped onions, small dice |
hard-boiled eggs, cut into medium size chunks |
best foods mayonnaise (mom used miracle whip but i prefer best foods) |
1/4 t. dry mustard |
2 t. sugar |
salt & pepper |
vinegar |
note: amounts are up to you |
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes while warm & break into pieces with a fork
2. sprinkle with salad dressing
3. mix in onions and eggs
4. in a small bowl mix together the mayo with everything else
5. add ingredients to taste, not too sweet nor too sour
6. Gently mix into potato mixture
7. optional add-ons: dill pickles and/or their juice; garlic, parsley, cilantro, olives, chunks of cheddar cheese; actually: whatever you love
8. flavors blend nicely so salad is maybe even better the next day
9. NOTE: the secrets are (1) rough cut of the potatoes; this allows more of the dressing flavor to soak in; (2) adding the salad dressing to the warm potatoes. This makes the whole salad way more flavorful. In fact, no matter what recipe you use for a potato salad, just make sure to use these 2 tips and it'll be even better.
