A rich and creamy homemade dressing is the perfect base for the potatoes, celery and onion...and any other ingredients you might want to add to this traditional salad. It's always a hit. âDanielle Brandt, Ruthton, Minnesota Ingredients:
dressing: |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
2 teaspoons butter |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
dash salt |
2 cups mayonnaise |
salad: |
6 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 10 large) |
5 celery ribs, thinly sliced |
1 large onion, chopped |
pepper to taste, optional |
Directions:
1. In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the eggs, sugar, vinegar, cream, butter, mustard and salt until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. Fold in mayonnaise. Chill until preparing salad.
2. For salad, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, celery and onion. Add dressing and pepper if desired; stir until blended. Chill until serving. Yield: 18 servings (3/4 cup each).
