THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD



The Original Potato Salad image

This recipe is right off the Hellman's mayonnaise jar. To me, it's so good it rivals my mother in law's potato salad, which I think is the best there is. It's a plain and simple potato salad, but it's delicious! Add pimentos, olives, or green peppers depending on what you like in your potato salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Over-mixing will make the potato salad gummy.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the potato salad with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include bacon, hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, and pickles.
