HELLMANN'S THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD

A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

HELEN'S SLOW COOKER POTATOES



Helen's Slow Cooker Potatoes image

Similar to scalloped potatoes, but...well, different. I searched your site and didn't find anything with my ingredients, although there were slow cooker dishes with potatoes in it. Hope you like it. I got this recipe from an elderly neighbor when my husband and I lived in Baltimore, MD. It's entirely her creation. I've taken this dish to family affairs, church potlucks, and picnics. I always have an empty Crock Pot® to bring home.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes until just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much dressing.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: Potato salad should be moist, but not swimming in dressing.
  • Add mix-ins and seasonings to taste: Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite ingredients, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Helen's Potato Salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and crisp vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
