What ingredients do you use to make a potatoe salad???

Question

Im cooking thanksgiving for the first time and would really appreciate your ideas!

Answer 1

I use red potatoes(skin on), celery, green bell pepper, either white or purple onion, black olives, dill pickle and some of the brine, (I don't like sweet for potato salad), Bestfoods or Hellmans mayo, Old Bay to taste, and after it's all mixed together top it with paprika and parsley. I always get requests for it when anyone wants potato salad. I add hard boiled eggs when there's no egg haters around.

Answer 2

Potatos - 5lb bag
Eggs - dozen
Mustard / Mao / Onion / Sweet Pickle Relish / Celery / Salt & Pepper

Cook the potatos and eggs. Cut potatos into bite size pieces and put in lg bowl. Peel the eggs and chop up. In smaller bowl add about 1 cup of Mao / 1/2 cup yellow mustard / 1/2 cup relish / about 3 stalks of celery chopped fine / one onion chopped fine / salt & pepper to taste. Mix well and taste -- this is where you can adjust the 'sauce' -- it takes a LOT more time & effort to "fix" the salad if the sauce is already mixed with the potatos/eggs.

Answer 3

Red Potatoes, Celery, Green Onion, Hard Boiled Egg, Parsley, Salt, Pepper and Mayonnaise.
