What is your favorite recipe for potato salad?

Answer 1

MOM’S POTATO SALAD
Note: the following amounts are approximates, Mom never measured for this recipe. She & I always “mix & taste” until we get it like we like it. Also, the measurements are obviously in amounts for a large get-together. Just break it down to the size or amount you will use.

10 lb. potatoes, peeled, quarter
1 pint dill pickles, chopped
1 doz. eggs, boiled, peeled, chopped
1/2 to 1 large onion, diced
1 to 3 T. prepared mustard
1 pint to 1 qt. Miracle Whip
salt, to taste

Boil prepared potatoes until tender, then mash while hot. We seem to like the potato salad better when the potatoes are mashed by hand instead of with an electric mixer; has a better texture. Place in large container, add prepared hard-boiled eggs on top of potatoes. Cover & refrigerate until cool. When the potatoes & eggs are completely cooled, add the prepared dill pickles, onions, & salt (NO pepper). Add the small amount of prepared mustard (this is only for color, not for taste). Add Miracle Whip a little at a time. Note: you must use Miracle Whip. Mix & taste until it suits your taste. Tip: This is a good excuse to eat more than your fair share. But remember, the taste will change as the flavors of all the ingredients mingle over time. After mixing ingredients to your desired taste, cover, & refrigerate. Flavor is best if refrigerated at least 24 hours before serving.

Answer 2

Hellman's mayo (it's the best)
red potatoes, leave the skins on
finely chopped vidalia onions
finely chopped Klaussen dill pickles
crumbled bacon
salt, pepper, good quality spanish paprika

Boil potatoes whole, cool enough to handle, then cut into cubes. Don't overcook, or you get "mashed" potato salad (that's a different recipe, LOL). combine all listed ingredients. Use just enough mayo to moisten well and bind your potatoes. I don't measure much, it depends on how many you're feeding. Sprinkle the paprika on the top just before you serve, makes a really pretty dish. the bacon really adds to the flavor and texture of potato salad. I get major compliments every time i make it!

Answer 4

Here's the potato salad I used to help make when I worked for a fine dining restaurant back in Chicago.

red potatoes
salt
ground black pepper
olive oil
mayo
Dijon mustard
sour cream
buttermilk
red onion, minced
celery, minced
bacon, cooked and crumbled

Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes or chunks and add to bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on an oiled sheet pan or cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for 55 minutes or until browned on the outside and tender on the inside. Cool.
Put mayo, mustard, sour cream and buttermilk in bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Add red onions, celery, bacon and roasted potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined. Taste and add additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Hope you like it! Happy cooking!

Answer 5

WOW, I have an amazing one!!! It's my fav food:
Potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, tomatos, green peppers, onions (optional), all mixed together with mayo. Now cut 1/2-1 pickle in, and sprinkle a couple tablespoons of pickle juice over it! Then add some chopped up chives (as much as you want). you can add cheese, peas, or lettuce, but I prefer it without. Bon Apetit!!!
