DELICIOUS POTATO SALAD



Delicious Potato Salad image

This salad is bursting with flavor.

Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Potato Salads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 med-sm yukon gold potatoes
6 eggs, hard boiled
8 slice bacon
1/2 red onion, diced
1 c sweet pepper relish
1 c miracle whip
1/2 c kraft mayo
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp black pepper
INSTEAD OF SWEET PEPPER RELISH USE:
1/2 c sweet pickle relish
1 red bell pepper, roasted and chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Wash potatoes and boil, no need to peel. Once cool enough to handle, smash or dice.
  • 2. Boil eggs, peel and dice.
  • 3. Cook bacon and crumble.
  • 4. I used Uncle Gary's Sweet Pepper relish. It added a small amount of heat and sweet. If using sweet pickle relish instead, roast a red bell pepper, remove skin and chop.
  • 5. The amount of Miracle whip and mayo will depend on the amount of potatoes you use. I always use half the amount of mayo as I do Miracle Whip, as per my family's preference. Mix Miracle Whip, Mayo, mustard and black pepper together.
  • 6. Place smashed potatoes, diced eggs, diced onion, crumbled bacon in a large bowl and mix to combine. Now add mayo and sweet pepper relish, mix to combine. Server warm or cold.
  • 7. http://unclegaryspeppers.com/

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or fingerling potatoes for your salad. These varieties hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them too soft and fall apart.
  • Cool the potatoes thoroughly: Before adding the potatoes to the salad, let them cool completely. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: Potato salad is all about the potatoes, so don't drown them in dressing. A light vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice.
  • Add flavor and texture with mix-ins: Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins to add flavor and texture to your potato salad. Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, bacon, and cheese.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Potato salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
