This recipe was shared with me by my mom. This is THE BEST potato salad I have ever had! Whenever we have family get-togethers, I always ask my mom to bring this salad! The vegetables add such a nice refreshing crunch. My mom also likes to add 1/4 cup diced green pepper and 1/4 cup diced cucumber, but I prefer it without.

MOM'S TANGY POTATO SALAD



Mom's Tangy Potato Salad image

This is the potato salad my mother made from as far back as I can remember. I hated it (as I did all potato salads)...until I became an adult, LOL. And my sweetie, whose mother has their own family potato salad recipe (see Martha's Dilly Potato Salad), says this salad is as good as his mother's, yet still unique. High praise,...

Categories     Potato Salads

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 - 5 medium baking potatoes
2 sweet pickles (4" length)
1/2 medium onion
1 - 2 ribs celery
1/2 - 1 carrot
2 hard boiled eggs, shelled
1/2 - 3/4 c miracle whip (do not sub with mayo!)
To taste salt

Steps:

  • 1. Leaving skins on, chop potatoes into large chunks (4 - 6 per potato). Put into large pot and add water to cover. Boil until cooked, but not soft. Drain when done and allow to cool (put in cold water if in a hurry). NOTE: If you're not trying to be salt conscious, feel free to salt the water as it improves the taste of the potatoes.
  • 2. While potatoes are cooking & cooling, chop sweet pickles, onion, celery, and egg; grate carrot. Combine all in large bowl.
  • 3. When cool enough to handle, pull skins from potatoes, then chop into marble-sized bits and add to salad mixture.
  • 4. Mix gently, adding Miracle Whip to desired consistency. Add salt and adjust to taste. Cover and chill until completely cold. Flavors improve after 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well and are less likely to become mushy in potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become crumbly and fall apart.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding the dressing: This will help prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much dressing and becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's difficult to remove it once it's been added.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon are all classic potato salad add-ins. Get creative and try different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later: Potato salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best potato salad that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
