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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. A mix of waxy and starchy potatoes will give your salad the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Add mix-ins to your liking. Common mix-ins for potato salad include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and pickles.
  • Season the salad to taste. Start with a little bit of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

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 liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious potato salad that everyone will love.
