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.

Time 6h

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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.
  • Delicious!

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.
