HELLMANN'S THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD

A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

HELEN'S SALAD

The first time I saw this salad at a family gathering I thought "yuck, canned vegetables"! Being polite I tasted it and was pleasantly shocked at how good it was. Believe me if you make this and people try it you will have to give the recipe because everyone will want it. This recipe seems like it takes a long time to make but it is very easy to make and is so worth it.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tiny peas
1 (14 ounce) can sliced carrots
1 medium onion
1 cup sugar
1 cup canola oil or 1 cup olive oil
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green pepper
3 -6 tablespoons Miracle Whip

Steps:

  • Open cans of green beans, peas, and carrots and pour vegetables into a large strainer in the sink. Let vegetables drain for at least an hour, shaking strainer every so often to get rid of water.
  • When drained, put vegetables into a large bowl that has a lid that seals.
  • Slice onion into thin slices and then cut the slices in half or fourths. Put cut onion on vegetables.
  • In a small pan, heat to dissolve: sugar, oil and vinegar. Be careful to not breathe in the fumes as this mixture heats. I usually just bring it to a boil, stirring constantly.Marinade should be clear not cloudy. Remove pan from burner and let mixture cool to just warm.
  • Pour cooled marinade over vegetables and carefully stir so vegetables don't get mushy. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Next day drain salad in strainer in the sink for at least an hour. Pour salad back in bowl and add diced celery and green pepper. Add 3 tbsp Miracle Whip and gently stir to mix well. If it isn't creamy enough add up to 3 more tbsp Miracle Whip.
  • Salad is ready to serve and will keep for up to a week.

HELEN'S SLOW COOKER POTATOES



Helen's Slow Cooker Potatoes image

Similar to scalloped potatoes, but...well, different. I searched your site and didn't find anything with my ingredients, although there were slow cooker dishes with potatoes in it. Hope you like it. I got this recipe from an elderly neighbor when my husband and I lived in Baltimore, MD. It's entirely her creation. I've taken this dish to family affairs, church potlucks, and picnics. I always have an empty Crock Pot® to bring home.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mixed with the dressing.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before mixing them with the dressing: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing: A mayonnaise-based dressing is a classic choice, but you can also use a vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Add some flavorings to the dressing: Mustard, celery seed, and onion powder are all popular additions.
  • Mix the potato salad gently: Overmixing will break up the potatoes.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help to develop the flavors.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
