SIMPLE POTATO SALAD FOR TWO



Simple Potato Salad for Two image

This is the same basic recipe my mom has always made. A lot of the measurements are guesses and should be added to taste. You can also add peppers, pickles, celery, etc. I made this in a small batch today, since it's just me. It's a good amount for one or two people to eat a few times. But it's easy enough to double or triple or....you get the idea. I love this because it's what I grew up on and I am not a celery fan and also find most commercial potato salad to be too bland or too sweet.

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 yukon gold potatoes, medium to large sized
3 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup finely diced onion (to taste)
1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon celery seed (to taste)
salt and pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise (estimate)

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes and place in water to cover. Bring to a boil and then cover the pan and lower heat to simmer for about 25 - 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart to the touch (but a little overcooked is better than having an uncooked spot in the middles). You can cool the potatoes some by putting them in cold water for about a minute or two.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into cubes or chunks or quarter slices and put them in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle vinegar over potatoes.
  • Dice up to of the eggs and add. Slice the third and reserve to make decoration for the top of the salad.
  • Add onions, seasonings and the mayonnaise and stir until well incorporated.
  • Decorate top of salad with reserved eggs.
  • Chill to blend all flavors, but also tastes good slightly warm right after you make it!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, when boiled. This will prevent them from becoming too mushy in the potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become too soft and fall apart in the potato salad. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in and out easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing: This will help the potatoes to absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the potato salad: Too much dressing will make the potato salad soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Potato salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, herbs, and meats. Some popular mix-ins include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Tangy potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and refreshing potato salad that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this tangy potato salad recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
