MY MOM'S GOOD OLD POTATO SALAD
I have enjoyed this recipe for years, and now so do my children. The secret to this recipe is the sweet pickles. You can also trade the mayo for salad dressing.

MRS. ROCKEY'S SECRET POTATO SALAD
The late, great culinary genius James Beard once labeled this particular recipe as his favorite potato salad. It was a "secret" family recipe of a lady whom he had encountered along his endless gastronomical sojourns -- and, after much prodding by Beard, one of the family members finally elected to let the rest of the world enjoy it too. This potato salad falls into an old fashioned (but good!) category by utilizing a type of "boiled dressing". Often, such dishes were served hot (like German potato salad) but I like this one because it is served cold, which is my personal preference. I decided to save the recipe here so that I wouldn't lose it.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes unpeeled. When they are just fork tender (not too soft!), peel and slice them (or, leave them unpeeled if you wish) while they are still fairly hot. Place them in a large mixing bowl and set aside, covered (so they'll stay warm while you make the dressing, etc.).
- In a small pan, bring the vinegar to the boiling point.
- In a mixing bowl, SLOWLY whisk the vinegar into the beaten eggs. Don't pour the hot vinegar in too fast or the eggs will scramble a bit.
- In a double boiler, over medium heat, pour in the egg-vinegar mix and whisk until the blend thickens some, then whisk in the butter and allow to cook for one minute.
- Next, stir in the cream (pre-warmed to about 100 degrees F.), TWO tablespoons of the parsley, the onion, and the seasonings.
- When the mix is well-blended, pour it over the sliced potatoes and carefully mix the dressing with the potatoes -- I use a big spatula for this.
- Allow to cool a bit and sprinkle remaining parsley over the top. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Peel and slice once cold. Reserve 1 attractive slice of egg for garnish.

Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the salad, and gently toss gain to coat the ingredients with dressing.

MRS. M'S "GOOD EATIN' " POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Boil potatoes with the skins still on until they're cooked but still firm. (For medium potatoes, this will take about 12 minutes from start of boil.) When the potatoes are done, drain them well, and let them sit in the pot for a few minutes until the crackling sound stops. Cool and peel the potatoes. Cut into chunks. While waiting for the potatoes to cool, prepare the remaining ingredients and combine all in a large bowl except the paprika and parsley. Add the potatoes to the large bowl. Mix with remaining ingredients except garnish. Chill the combined potato salad. Add garnish when ready to serve.
Tips:
- The secret to a creamy potato salad lies in the quality of the potatoes. Choose firm, waxy potatoes that will hold their shape when cooked. Yukon Gold and red potatoes are two popular choices.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and fall apart.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream for the dressing. This will create a creamy and tangy sauce.
- Add some chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs to the dressing. These ingredients will add flavor and texture to the potato salad.
- Season the dressing with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings to taste, such as dill, mustard, or paprika.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, add them to the dressing and stir to coat.
- Cover the potato salad and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the salad to chill.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato salad that will be a hit at your next gathering.
