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.

MOM'S EASY POTATO SALAD RECIPE



Mom's Easy Potato Salad Recipe image

Everyone loves a good potato salad on a hot summer day! If you haven't made it for awhile, this is a new recipe you NEED to try!

Provided by Kristen Hills

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 potatoes (cooked)
8 eggs (hard boiled)
¾ cup dill or sweet pickles (diced)
2 celery stalks (diced)
1 cup mayonnaise ((you could also use Miracle Whip))
3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
salt and pepper (to taste)
Salad Supreme Seasoning (optional to sprinkle on top)

Steps:

  • Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 30-40 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato, but not too soft that they just fall apart. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool (I usually put the potatoes in the fridge to cool).
  • Once your potatoes are cool, peel and dice. Place diced potatoes, diced celery, and pickles in a large bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl (sometimes I will set aside 1 egg and slice it to put on top of the potato salad for presentation - totally not necessary, it's just what my mom always did).
  • In a separate small bowl, mix your mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potato mixture in the big bowl and gently fold together. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with Salad Supreme seasoning. As mentioned before, you can also save 1 hard boiled egg to slice and add it to the top.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a variety of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will prevent them from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the other ingredients for the salad, such as the carrots, celery, and eggs.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad ingredients together. This will prevent the potatoes from breaking apart.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise. You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce, to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe for My Mom's Potato Salad with Carrot and Egg is a simple but delicious version of the classic dish. With its creamy mayonnaise dressing, tender potatoes, and crunchy vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
