Mom's Best Potato Salad image

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.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups cubed red potatoes
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup diced raw carrot
1/4 cup sliced raw radish
1/4 cup diced raw celery
3 large hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes, with skins on, until tender.
  • Drain and allow potatoes to cool.
  • Once cool enough to handle, remove skins and cut into bite-size cubes.
  • Meanwhile, dice onion, carrot, radish, and celery.
  • Mix ingredients for dressing and refrigerate until needed.
  • Combine potatoes, vegetables, and 2 sliced hard boiled eggs.
  • Pour dressing over and mix well to combine.
  • Top with remaining sliced egg and sprinkle with paprika if desired.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Their waxy texture holds its shape well in potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes until tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Cool potatoes completely before adding dressing: This prevents the dressing from thinning out.
  • Use homemade mayonnaise: It's creamier and tastier than store-bought mayonnaise.
  • Add ingredients to taste: Adjust the amount of mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to your liking.
  • Chill potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Conclusion:

This classic potato salad recipe is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues, or as a side dish for grilled or roasted meats.
