OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD RECIPE



Old Fashioned Potato Salad Recipe image

This old fashioned potato salad recipe has been passed down through generations of my family. It's hands down the best potato salad recipe I've ever tried, and you're gonna love it!

Provided by Down Redbud Drive

Categories     Side Dish

Time P1DT1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs of russet potatoes
18 eggs
1 1/2 10 oz jars of Sweet Tiny Midget Pickles
1 large yellow onion
20 oz (about 2/3 of a 30 oz jar) of Miracle Whip
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup mayo
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the potatoes and boil them with the peel on. Boil them until the peel begins to crack, that's how you'll know they're done.
  • Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool until you can handle them.
  • Hard boil the 18 eggs, and then remove them from the water until they're cool. This step can also be done in advance if you want to save some waiting time for them to cool.
  • Peel the potatoes, then chop them into bite size pieces (about 1 inch cubes). Place the chopped potato in a very large bowl.
  • Once the boiled eggs have cooled enough to peel, chop them into small pieces. Add the chopped pieces to the potatoes.
  • Chop the onion and the pickles into very small, minced pieces. Grandma always made us do this by hand, but you can do it with a food chopper if you're pressed for time.
  • Add the pickles and the onions to the potatoes and eggs.
  • Add in and mix the miracle whip, mayo, yellow mustard, and salt and then use a large spoon to mix until it's all incorporated.
  • Cover the potato salad and place it in the fridge for 24 hours, or overnight if you waited til last minute.
  • If the potato salad seems very dry the next day, it's because the potatoes absorbed some of the liquid. Add up to half a cup more of miracle whip or mayo (whatever you prefer) to help re-moisten it.

POTATO SALAD WITH COOKED DRESSING

Make and share this Potato Salad with Cooked Dressing recipe from Food.com.

Provided by I Dunno

Categories     Potato

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 quarts potatoes, diced, cooked
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup cream or 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Mix together and let come to a boil.
  • Cook until thick.
  • Add 1/2 cup cream or you can use 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Pour dressing over potato mixture.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well when cooked and have a creamy texture that's perfect for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing: This will help to prevent the dressing from being absorbed by the potatoes and making them soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Too much mayonnaise can make the salad heavy and greasy.
  • Add some chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs for extra flavor and texture: These are classic potato salad ingredients that add a lot of flavor and crunch.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper: This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Grandma Drew's Potato Salad Dressing is a simple and delicious recipe that's perfect for any occasion. It's made with just a few ingredients and can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like your potato salad classic or with a few extra mix-ins, Grandma Drew's dressing is sure to please everyone at the table.
