My mother maid potato & egg salad awesome . I have yet to find anyone who can out do her in the making of
potato & egg salad. Not everyone can make it where it tastes good. I have tried to Copy her potato salad, but I guess its care and preparation
that makes hers stand out. I can come close to it because I have watched her
make it many times and know the ingredients she uses. She hasn't made it in
years due to her old age and can't remember exactly how she makes it sometimes,
but I can come pretty close to her version with her advising me how to make it.
Here, I am going to share with you our potato salad recipe.
5 to 6 potatoes (preferably Idaho
potatoes)
2 stalks celery
1 small onion
½ green pepper
¼ cup sweet relish
½ cup miracle whip
½ cup mayonnaise
Half dozen hard-boiled eggs
2 Tbsp pimento
1 Tbsp mustard
Paprika
Salt and pepper
Peel the
potatoes, dice them, and put into boiling salted water. In another pot put eggs
in the pot and cover with water. Add salt to the water because it's supposed
to help peel the eggs better. Cook potatoes until you can insert a fork but not
falling apart. Drain the potatoes and put in a bowl and set in the refrigerator
to cool. Meanwhile chop your onion, celery and green pepper. After your
potatoes have cooled add the chopped vegetables to the bowl. Run cold water
over the hard-boiled eggs to cool them off and remove the shells. Chop half of
the eggs and add to bowl. Salt and pepper the mixture. Then add the mayonnaise,
miracle whip and mustard along with the sweet relish. Mix all the ingredients
together. If it needs more salad dressing, add more to it as needed. Slice the
rest of the hard-boiled eggs and layer them on top of the salad. Sprinkle the
salad with paprika cover and refrigerate. The longer it sits the better it
taste the next day. Your salad is ready to eat enjoy it!!
