Answer 1

2 very large baking potatoes
1 8oz. sour cream
3 T mayonnaise
squirt yellow mustard
green onion
bacon bits (I prefer real bacon)
celery
Cajun seasoning to taste (Tony Chachere's)
paprika

Boil potatoes until soft but not mushy. Drain WELL. Add the mayo, mustard and 1/2 of the sour cream to the hot potatoes. Chill. When almost cold add the rest of the ingredients and the rest of the sour cream if the salad is dry. Sprinkle with paprika.
YUMMO!!!!

Answer 2

This sort of "everything but the kitchen sink" potato salad is perfect for a picnic or buffet.

Yield 8 servings
Time 30 minutes
Tools Large saucepan
Wooden spoon
Strainer
Large bowl

Ingredients 2 pounds potatoes, peeled or scrubbed
4 hard-boiled eggs (optional), chopped
½-¾ c mayonnaise (regular or vegan)
1 t mustard, prepared or dry
½ small red onion, chopped OR 1 scallion, sliced
1-2 carrots, peeled (optionally) and chopped
1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped

Directions Cut the potatoes into bite-size or slightly larger pieces.
Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, just until the point where you insert a fork and the potato falls off (overcooking can leave you with mashed potato salad).

While the potatoes are cooking, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and onion.

Prepare the vegetables and stir them into the mayonnaise mixture.

Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water, and fold them into the vegetables along with the optional eggs. Serve warm.

Notes This salad tastes best warm, so serve it right away or remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

Answer 3

This recipe comes from way back in my family. Very simple ingredients.

6 -7 new or red skin potatoes
3 - 4 green onions, chopped to small chunks
3 - 4 boiled eggs
1 med. carrot grated
1 rib of celery, slice the rib length wise into 4 or 5 long pieces, then chop the same size as green onions.
salt & pepper to taste
Miracle Whip
Paprika

Clean the potatoes and boil with skin on. Cool and then peel off the skin and chop into 1 x 1 inch pieces. Take the shells off the eggs and chop 3 into small chunks and add to the potatoes. Now add the onion, celery and grated carrot. Season with the salt and pepper. Add enough Miracle Whip to moisten the salad. Slice the remaining egg and arrange on top. Sprinkle with paprika and cover. Put in fridge for 2 - 3 hours to blend all flavours.

Answer 6

I have tried boiling the potatoes with the skins on and cut the potatoes up then boil,I found by experimenting that the potatoes have a better taste when you boil the potatoes with the skin on.then let them cool and peel,cut into pieces to your liking,now add your ingredients,I add eggs,chopped dill pickles,onions,olives,pimentos,,now I put even amount of mayonnaise and sour cream,mix together ,put a little sugar in with this,now add enough milk to this,mixing as you add the milk,so the mixture is like heavy cream or thicker if you like,but not thin,now mix this in to your potatoes ,mix,cover and put in rerefrigerator,OH,don't forget your salt and pepper to your taste,,let it set in frigerator for at least a couple of hours ,let the flavors blend in,yum
