Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds white thin skin potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons white vinegar or cider vinegar
1 (6-ounce) jar, sliced pimento, drained and chopped
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 small white onion, peeled and left whole
1/2 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise or, just enough to bind salad
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 12 minutes, until fork tender. Drain and return potatoes to hot pot to dry them. Sprinkle potatoes with vinegar. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and let them cool.
  • When potatoes have cooled, add pimento and peas to the bowl. Using a hand held grater, grate the small white onion over the potatoes. The onion juice is what makes this salad so good. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise dressing to the bowl, or to your liking, to bind.
  • Season potato salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to plastic serving wear and pack up for your picnic. Keep this salad in your cooler with beverages or chill until ready to travel.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a great make-ahead dish, which is always a plus.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before our picnic and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the potatoes were still firm.

This potato salad is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, but the combination of potatoes, celery, onion, pimentos, and peas is always a winner. I especially love the tangy dressing made with mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar.
