DEE'S POTATO SALAD DRESSING



Dee's Potato Salad Dressing image

This came from a friend of mine who lived in TN who passed away about 5 years ago. Her Grandmother always made this and it is an excellant dressing. It is a tad sweet so you can cut back on the sugar if you like but I find it even better after it has sat over night so the potatoes have a chance to soak up the flavors! I also add cut up hard boiled eggs to my potato salad. To be honest I have no idea how much it makes and how many servings. I make this when I am having company and I boil about 5 lbs of potatoes and it cover that amount.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes hold their shape well and won't get mushy. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russet Potatoes, which are better for baking or frying.
  • Boil the potatoes correctly: Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Make the dressing separately: While the potatoes are boiling, make the dressing in a separate bowl. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use good-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the base of most potato salad dressings, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a brand that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, which can make the salad dry and bland.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: After the potatoes and dressing are combined, you can add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Potato salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and develop, and it will also make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With so many different variations, there's a potato salad recipe out there for everyone.
