Now, for the potato salad thread.

[Marie5656]

We have done the macaroni salad. Now to let the tater salad have its own thread. Mine is pretty simple.

I cube up cooked potatoes, with skins on.
Add 4 or so hard cooked eggs.
Miracle Whip (to taste)
mustard..also to taste.

What do you put in yours? Do you have a choice of the best potato to use? I like the russet

I use what ever potatoes I happen to have on hand. Usually a waxy type like baby new potatoes.
Gently simmer potatoes until fork tender. drain and cool. Peel and slice/cube potatoes
Some Italian salad dressing . Enough to coat the potatoes.
Miracle Whip
Chopped grn onions
Chopped celery
salad olives. The sliced/chopped kind. This really makes it a better salad. Huge difference.
a bit prepared yellow mustard
a tad of dry yellow mustard
paprika
salt to taste.
Chill, covered until needed.

I use similar basic recipe as most of the posters but i'd add bacon bits and grated smokey cheddar cheese, was very popular at potluck parties.

The bacon bits sound quite tasty. I'll try that soon.

Lebanese potato salad

My friends made this often.
I can't remember proportions so I'll just put on the video.

Note- we never added the mint. All ingredients must be fresh, especially the garlic.

For potato salad, I peel the potatoes while they are still too hot to handle and give them a splash of apple cider vinegar along with a good shake of salt and black pepper. I mix chopped hard-boiled eggs with finely chopped celery, green or red bell pepper and onion with Hellmann's mayonnaise, and then add the hot potatoes. If I have it I add a dollop of sour cream to the mayonnaise. The most difficult thing for me is getting the seasoning right when the potato salad is still warm. Potato salad needs a fair amount of salt and it doesn't taste right to me if the salt is added after the salad has been chilled.

My grandmother made the best potato salad. IIRC it had all of these ingredients plus hard boiled eggs and love of course.

These days I buy the Kroger mustard potato salad. Its pretty close to what I used to make and not any trouble.

 

[Lewkat]

I use only Hellmann's Mayo, mustard, vinegar, fresh parsley, scallions, celery, bacon. Occasionally, I'll add chopped garlic as well.

I slice the potatoes, spread the slices out on a baking tray, spray with a little olive oil and some Cavendars Greek Seasoning. Bake.

Cube the baked slices. Mix with chopped onion, celery, sweet baby gherkins. Mix with mayo, cider vinegar, a little sugar, pepper.

Baking the sliced potatoes allows the potato to "hold up" in the salad.

Now that you remind me Jackie, I think there was also mustard powder and pickle relish in my grandmother's delicious potato salad. Your recipe is closer to it, IIRC.

My potato salad is similar to many already posted. Today I had potato and apple salad and it was yummy!
