Granny's Danish Potato Salad image

This is the potato salad many generations of my family has grown up with. I have fond memories as a child of helping my granny dig "taters" and then making this potato salad. This was always a required side dish for holiday dinners!

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large potatoes
1/2 c onion, diced
1/2 c sweet relish
3 large egg, hard boiled, diced
pinch salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 c water
2 Tbsp mustard (prepared)
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/4 c mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. Wash potatoes. Place potatoes, skins on, in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes 20-30 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • 2. Remove potatoes from heat and rinse in cold water. Let sit about 10 minutes in cool water until they are cooled enough to handle.
  • 3. Once cooled, peel potatoes, skins should easily pull off the potatoes. Once peeled, dice potatoes to desired size.
  • 4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sweet relish, diced hard-boiled eggs, and salt & pepper. Set aside.
  • 5. In a saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, water, and salt & pepper (if desired). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • 6. Once mixture comes to a boil, quickly wisk/stir in the beaten eggs and continue stirring well for 5 minutes over medium heat or until the mixture starts to slightly thicken (will coat the back of the spoon).
  • 7. Once cooked mixture thickens, remove from heat and stir in the mayonnaise. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  • 8. Once the cooked mixture is throughly combined, pour over the potato mixture and stir well.
  • 9. You may serve this salad at room temperature or serve chilled.
