Julie's Mom's Perfect Potato Salad image

My family would crowd into the kitchen to get their first forkfull of Mom's potato salad. It's that good! This potato salad is not at all sweet - something which was important for our family. Let it sit in the fridge as long as you can before serving... it's even better the next day!

Categories     Potato

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 -6 medium potatoes
1/2 finely chopped onions or 2 -3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
finely chopped celery (optional)
1 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods, Helmann's, or Vegenaise - a little more, depending on texture after mixing)
chopped boiled egg, for garnish
paprika, for garnish
dill weed, for garnish

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes with skin on.
  • Mix together all ingredients except potatoes.
  • When potatoes are done, cut (it's up to you whether or not you want to leave the skins on) while still warm and fold together with the mayo mixture - it makes it taste better to combine while warm.
  • Put into serving container and garnish.
  • Refrigerate for at least three hours before serving (the longer the better).
  • This potato salad is even better then next day!
  • Note from Julie: I use the dried minced onion because I like their texture, omit the celery, and add about 1/4 tsp of both curry powder and dried mustard... but don't tell Mom. ;)

This potato salad is a classic for a reason! It's simple to make, but the flavors are amazing. I especially love the addition of celery and onion, which give it a nice crunch and depth of flavor.
