OLD FASHIONED CREAMY POTATO SALAD
This has a cooked dressing that is combined with mayonnaise to create the most wonderful creamy dressing! I like to add in some cooked cubed deli ham and frozen thawed peas but that is optional. This dressing will seem sweet after it is cooked but will mellow out after chilling time, this salad must be chilled for a minimum of 8 hours or up to 24 hours before serving, all amounts may be adjusted to taste. Prep time includes chilling time.

Steps:
- FOR THE POTATO SALAD: Cook 10 pounds waxy new crop potatoes in salted boiling water to cover. Peel and dice. Spread in 3 serving pans, 9 by 15 inches. Sprinkle with 1 cup finely chopped onion. Cover evenly with Hot Salad Dressing. With wide spatula turn potatoes carefully in the dressing to coat completely. Let stand in a warm place, covered, for half an hour. At serving time, sprinkle with 1 cup chopped green pepper, 4 cups finely slivered celery, and 2 cups diced cucumber. Carefully toss to mix ingredients. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Separately grate the yolks and whites of 12 hard cooked eggs and sprinkle on the salad in patterns through a paper doily, keeping the colors separate. Makes about 50 servings, 2/3 cup each.
- FOR THE HOT SALAD DRESSING:.
- Put a 2 quart pan into a roasting pan with hot water in it. In the pan, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tablespoon each dry mustard and salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a generous dash of cayenne. Gradually add 1 quart hot milk, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and thickens. Cook 10 minutes, stirring often. Beat 4 eggs lightly, warm them with a little hot sauce, and stir them into the pan. Cook for a minute or two. Remove the pan from the hot water and add 1 cup full strength distilled vinegar (not the mild seasoned type). Swirl in 1/4 cup butter. If the sauce seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it as desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste. Makes 1 1/2 quarts.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and not hold their shape well in the salad.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before dressing them: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Too much mayonnaise will make the salad heavy and greasy.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: There are many different ways to customize potato salad. Some popular mix-ins include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned potato salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato salad every time. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing side dish, give this old-fashioned potato salad recipe a try.
