Lela's Fourth of July Potato Salad image

This is my mother's potato salad recipe. Every 4th of July she would make this potato salad for around 30 to 40 people. The recipe calls for ten pounds of potatoes. The sweet onions, dill pickles, and green and black olives give the recipe a wonderful flavor. Now it is always a must-do on the 4th of July. See footnotes for smaller version.

Time 4h

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 pounds potatoes, peeled
2 (6 ounce) cans black olives, diced
2 (6 ounce) jars green olives, diced
1 cup dill pickle chips, diced
1 cup sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), finely chopped
16 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
7 cups Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. (You may need two pots.) Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Start checking for doneness after 1 hour. Drain and rinse the potatoes with cold running water.
  • Place black olives, green olives, pickle chips, onion, and hard-cooked eggs into a large heavy-duty disposable foil pan. When the potatoes are cool, chop them into small pieces and gently mix them with the olive-egg mixture.
  • Combine mayonnaise and yellow mustard together. Add the dressing to the salad ingredients and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

This potato salad is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I love the addition of the celery and onion, which gives it a nice crunch.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but I loved the dressing on this potato salad. It was so creamy and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the potatoes.

I've tried a lot of potato salad recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of mayonnaise, mustard, and celery is perfect, and the potatoes are always cooked to perfection.

This potato salad was a hit at our Fourth of July party! I loved the combination of sweet and tangy flavors, and the red potatoes held their shape really well. I'll definitely be making this again for our next barbecue.
