You can substitute an equal amount of celery salt for the celery seed, but if you do, eliminate the (unflavored) salt from the dressing. Make sure to use sturdy Yukon Golds here, fluffy russets will fall apart in the salad.

AMISH POTATO SALAD



Amish Potato Salad image

This is an authentic recipe from a family that makes it and sells it at a local market. Amish potato salad is sweeter than regular potato salad. PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTN TO STEP 3! You DO NOT pour the whole dressing on - you pour on as much as you want. You might want to pour a little bit and let it sit overnight and pour on more the next day as it will soak in.

AMISH POTATO SALAD



Amish Potato Salad image

I got this from an Amish cooking website. It takes some time to make, but it's super easy. This is pure comfort food! Note: a reviewer said that this tastes even better after a day of refrigeration; allowing the flavors to meld. Also, feel free to use a little less sugar if you'd prefer.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 medium white potatoes with skin
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 c celery, chopped
1 c carrots, chopped
1 tsp celery seed
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 c white sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c milk
1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
3 Tbsp butter
1 c mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. The best way to boil potatoes is to start out by covering them with cold water in a large pot, then bring it to a boil. Cook them for approximately 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and let them cool.
  • 2. While the potatoes are cooking, you can put the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a pan and whisk it all together. Then, stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook this mixture over medium heat, while stirring. You want it to thicken. Do this for approx.10 minutes. Then take the pot off the heating element and stir in that butter. Put it in the fridge until it's cooled down. Once it's cooled, you can stir in the mayonnaise.
  • 3. Peel the cooled potatoes (you can leave them unpeeled if you prefer your potato salad more rustic). Cut the potatoes into roughly medium-sized pieces and then put them into a big bowl. Give them a good, but gentle, toss as you add the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs.
  • 4. Last, you can gently fold in your prepared dressing. Refrigerate. Relax. You're done! It tastes the best after a day of chilling because the flavors really get a chance to meld together for max enjoyment.

I use to make batches of this for my husband to take to work with him for lunch. Amish potato salad is sweeter than most so keep that in mind if you don't like sweet potato salad. Sorry, cooking time is a guess.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 medium white potatoes with skin
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 teaspoon celery seed
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
  • Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing. Refrigerate until serving. I personally like this to sit for at least a day before serving to let the flavors blend, but you may serve it as soon as it is chilled.

AMISH POTATO SALAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Amish Potato Salad Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Julee

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
4 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3/4 cup sour cream
1 celery rib, chopped fine

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and enough water to cover by 1 inch to boil in large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. While potatoes simmer, microwave vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Process vinegar mixture, mustard, 1 hard-cooked egg yolk (reserve white), celery seed, and ½ teaspoon salt in food processor until smooth. Transfer to medium bowl. Drain potatoes thoroughly, then transfer to large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons dressing over hot potatoes and, using rubber spatula, gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until cooled, at least 30 minutes, stirring gently once to redistribute dressing. Whisk sour cream into remaining dressing. Add remaining hard-cooked eggs and egg white to dressing and, using potato masher, mash until only small pieces remain. Add dressing and celery to cooled potatoes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 -minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve. Salad can be refrigerated in airtight container for 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart when mixed with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing: This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Overmixing will cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped celery, onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Amish potato salad is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Amish potato salad that will be enjoyed by everyone.
