ZIPPY POTATO SALAD FOR A CROWD

Zippy Potato Salad for a Crowd image

This is a creamy sweeter-style dressing that has lots of "zip" and it makes a fair amount, feel free to add in some frozen peas, cooked ham or bacon --- I have listed the servings at 12-14 but that is only estimated --- --- use both mayonnaise and salad dressing for this, plan ahead this salad needs to chill for a minimum of 6 or more hours before serving, prep time includes chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 lbs red potatoes, peeled (cooked until fork tender, chopped and chilled until cold)
1 small stalk celery, finely diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced (or sliced with an egg slicer)
7 green onions, finely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise (use Hellman's mayonnaise)
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2-1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
12 -15 gherkins, finely chopped (or use 1/2 cup sweet yum-yum pickles chopped)

Steps:

In a large bowl combine the cold cubed potatoes with celery, eggs and green onions; toss to combine.
In another bowl combine the mayonnaise with salad dressing, sour cream, cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, mustard, garlic powder, seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper; whisk or mix with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
Pour dressing mixture over the potato mixture and toss to coat.
Mix in chopped pickles.
Seasoned with more salt and black pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours before serving.

Tips:

Keep the potatoes warm: Cold potatoes will absorb more dressing, making the salad soggy. Keep them warm until you're ready to serve to prevent this.
Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different textures and flavors, so using a variety will add interest to your salad. Try using a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as red potatoes, Yukon Golds, and russets.
Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart and make the salad mushy. Cook them until they're just tender when pierced with a fork.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing will have more time to develop its flavors if you make it ahead of time. You can make it up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Add mix-ins: Add some mix-ins to your potato salad to give it extra flavor and texture. Some popular mix-ins include chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Zippy potato salad is a classic dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and variety of mix-ins, zippy potato salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or gathering.
