Lela's Fourth of July Potato Salad image

This is my mother's potato salad recipe. Every 4th of July she would make this potato salad for around 30 to 40 people. The recipe calls for ten pounds of potatoes. The sweet onions, dill pickles, and green and black olives give the recipe a wonderful flavor. Now it is always a must-do on the 4th of July. See footnotes for smaller version.

Time 4h

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 pounds potatoes, peeled
2 (6 ounce) cans black olives, diced
2 (6 ounce) jars green olives, diced
1 cup dill pickle chips, diced
1 cup sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), finely chopped
16 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
7 cups Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. (You may need two pots.) Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Start checking for doneness after 1 hour. Drain and rinse the potatoes with cold running water.
  • Place black olives, green olives, pickle chips, onion, and hard-cooked eggs into a large heavy-duty disposable foil pan. When the potatoes are cool, chop them into small pieces and gently mix them with the olive-egg mixture.
  • Combine mayonnaise and yellow mustard together. Add the dressing to the salad ingredients and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based potato salads, but this one is different. The dressing is light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the potatoes.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add whatever vegetables I have on hand, such as carrots, celery, or peas.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few leftover potatoes after making mashed potatoes, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love that this potato salad is made with red potatoes. They hold their shape really well, so the salad doesn't get mushy.
