Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?

The one everyone RAVES about? NOT off the internet, I can search for myself! I would love your tried %26amp; true recipe!Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?
This is by far the best potato salad recipe...it is my mom's!





Cook some red potatoes, peeled and cubed, until ';fork-tender';. Drain and put into a bowl and drizzle with bottled italian dressing (about a half cup for a couple of pounds of potatoes). Set aside.





Dressing:





half cup to one cup mayo (depends on your desired consistency-use your fave brand but I like hellman's)





quarter cup zatarain's mustard (could use any CREOLE mustard but zatarain's is best)





chopped boiled eggs, about 6 eggs


chopped green onions, about half a cup or so


cooked bacon, crumbled, about half a package


salt and pepper to taste





Mix the dressing and toss with the potatoes. This salad is good right away but I prefer it cold straight from the fridge. I don't usually measure the ingrediants, I just eyeball everything. This is my favorite potato salad. Good luck!Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?
It's so awesome...bacon makes everything yum! Report Abuse

Cube potatoes and boil until soft and tender...add enough mayo and mustard to moisten it well, depending on how many potatoes you use. Then you put an onion, chopped and some dill relish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Eyeball it. That's what makes it good.
Well i have 2 that I fix and always get compliments on.They are both the same except a little twist.Cooked red potatoes,chopped dill pickles,sauteed green onions(lots),chopped boiled eggs,mustard,real mayo,garlic powder,and pickle juice.That's one,after you add the pickle juice,and it sits a while add a pinch of sugar.The other one is the same except you leave out the boiled eggs and add a can of cheap mixed vegetables and black olives to it.You can put regular or red onions,when you saute them they are tender and not so oniony.Just cook the amount of potatoes you do all the time.I always use only real mayo also.Mustard is for color..hope this helps give them a try.
I cheat with the dressing - but everybody LOVES this potato salad when I make it, so hey.....





Red potatoes (pontiacs) - leave the skin on and chop them into hearty sized pieces. Boil until they're cooked to your liking. When they're 8-10 mins away from being done, throw in 2-3 eggs so that they can boil.





Microwave 1/2 - 1 cup of peas - drain





Drain the potatoes and the eggs. Peel the eggs and slice into chunks.





Put the potatoes, eggs, and peas into a large bowl. Pour over some pre-made potato salad dressing (I use Kraft's).





Combine. Done :-)





If I didn't have any dressing in the fridge I'd combine mayonnaise with Italian dressing, salt and pepper.





You can throw in some freshly chopped mint if you like...





Cheers
boil whole potatoes until soft.. let cool in a bowl.. while cooling add ( depending on serving size) add mayo a squirt of ketchup, a half can of sliced black olives, a half a jar of sliced green olives, chopped onion, dill, season salt, pickle pieces, and stir into a lumpy cream sauce.. i then half a half a container of sour cream... stir again.... now peel the potatoes and cube them into the mixture....if you have to much cream you can add more potatoes or add more mayo if dry.... i then decorate with hard boiled egg slices.....


( you will taste this at V's b-day party! making a ton of it!
this is one of those family recipes that is all about taste testing, not measuring, so i am guessing on the amounts. this is a recipe i have used in several states and pot-luck situations to great success.





5-10 med/large potatos of choice. i prefer white or red taters.


3-5 eggs





boil all these together. you choose to skin potatoes or not. red taters make pretty salad, with skin. boil until taters soft, but not mashed. eggs will be done then. cool overnight if possible.





1 med-large onion, chopped


can of cut black olives


3-5 celery stalks, chopped


dill pickle relish, one bottle





mix ingredients with just enough real mayo to stick together, not be 'soupy'. add seasoning salt (i prefer johnny's salt, but any seasoning salt with paprika will work) to taste.





serve. this is a heavy tater salad, with only the mayo as a 'sweet' flavor. no mustard, and i always use real mayo, not sweet mayo. the seasoning salt and the pickle adds just enough bitter taste to the palate, and the onion and celery provide crunch. this is best served cold, after being made for about 4-12 hours.





hope it helps.
Everyone loves my potato salad.


Boil russet potatos until cooked, but not mushy


peel skins off. rough cut into bowl


I add one chopped hard boiled egg to every 4-5 potatos, so at least 2 eggs per batch.


celery chopped fine ( about a half cup per 8 potatos)


chopped kosher dill pickles (same as celery)


1 sm. can sliced black olives


1/2 small jar pimentos, chopped fine


yellow mustard (about 1/4 cup per 8 potatos)


good mayonnaise like Best Foods, Hellman's or Kraft (about 1 cup per 8 potatos)


salt (about 1 tsp), pepper(1/2 tsp), onion powder(1 tsp), dill(1 tsp)


Mix all together and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Adjust taste to your liking.


After you have adjusted your salad, smooth top and sides of bowl and sprinkle with paprika and garnish with a sprig of parsley or a few black olives.
