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.

  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: You don't want them to be too soft, or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: This is the classic dressing for potato salad, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. You can also use a vinaigrette dressing, if you prefer.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: This is where you can really get creative. Some popular mix-ins for potato salad include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
