This is the way my mom made potato salad. She would put all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar and make one of the kids shake it to mix everything. It's the best - imho.

Provided by Annette L.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 qts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lbs potatoes
2 cups Miracle Whip
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons relish
1 cup onion
1 cup celery
6 hard-boiled eggs

Steps:

  • Fill a 5 quart pan with potatoes, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. The type of potato you use depends on how you like your potato salad - we like the potatoes to be very well done and cut up fairly small. I usually use russet potatoes. If you use red potatoes, you will get firmer, more indiviualized pieces of potatoes in your salad.
  • After potatoes are cooked, let them cool. Peel and cut up in bite-sized cubes.
  • Make at least 6 hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool and cut them up.
  • Dice up onions and celery.
  • Dressing: Whisk together Miracle Whip, milk, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, mustard and relish.
  • , Mix all ingredients together and fold in dressing.

OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SALAD



Old-Fashioned Potato Salad image

This classic potato salad is a family favorite. It is made with plain, honest, good old-fashioned ingredients...Yukon Golds (which hold up well after cooking), hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onions...a dressing made with purchased mayonnaise, ballpark-style mustard, a few splashes of cider vinegar and lemon juice, and the enhanced richness of mashed hard-boiled eggs. I guarantee that everyone will want seconds (I was told that one of my nephews ate a whole bowl at one sitting...WOW!!). This salad can easily be doubled or tripled for those larger crowds.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs yukon gold potatoes
4 large hard-boiled eggs, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's is my favorite. And, please, NOT reduced-fat or nonfat)
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (plus more, if needed)
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons ballpark-style yellow mustard (I like French's, NOT Dijon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more, if needed)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground red pepper)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot with 3 quarts of water to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch dice. Add diced potatoes to boiling water and cook about 10 minutes, or until tender (NOT mushy) when pierced with a knife. Remove and drain well in a colander.
  • Place potatoes in a large non-reactive bowl (a glass bowl is best), and cool to room temperature. Chop 3 of the hard-boiled eggs and add to the bowl with the chopped celery and onion. Mix well to blend.
  • Mash the remaining egg in a small bowl, then add the mayonnaise, 2 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cayenne. Whisk well to blend. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and mix well to combine. Taste and season with a little more salt and lemon juice, if needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed (Salad can be made 6 hours ahead, bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving).
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

3 punds small red potatoes
kosher salt

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
freshly ground black pepper

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon and whole-grain mustards, dill, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Set aside. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potato salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes well and let them cool slightly before mashing.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer: This will give the potatoes a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork or a potato masher, but be sure to mash the potatoes until they are very smooth.
  • Add the dressing gradually: Start by adding a small amount of dressing and then add more until the potatoes are coated. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming too runny.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help to firm up the potatoes and make the salad more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the best mashed potato salad that everyone will love.
