Rip_Some_Lip Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have lots of potatos from the garden and I have never made potato salad. My wife doesn't like it so its up to me to make it if I want it. I would appreciate anybody that would be willing to share their recipe. I kind of like a plain salad, not too souped up. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Cloud Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 For grins here is a non mayo german style. http://www.hotspotoutdoors.com/forum/ubb...lad#Post2313294 For a simple mayo, I dont have an exact recipe. To the cooked taters I like to add chopped onions, clery, mayo, salt, a little mustard, and what I believe is the key - chopped up hard boiled eggs! really adds to the flavor and thickens up the mayo. Thats a simple one but you can add a ton of other things, ie- capers, black olives, red peppers, shredded carrots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKJACK Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I keep mine pretty basic, no celery or other 'odd' stuff. Cook potatoes (not too soft, I pressure cook mine 5 minutes), I don't bother peeling, chunk up into bowl, boil 6-8 eggs, cool, peel, chunk up into bowl, dice up small onion into bowl. I like my potato salad chunky. Make dressing by combing about 2-3 cups Mayo, 4-5 tablespoons mustard, 2-3 tablespoons sugar, a little milk, maybe 1/4 cup, salt and pepper to taste, mix up, dip finger in and taste, add more mustard if necessary. Don't add too much milk or it gets runny. Pour over potatoes, mix up. Good side dish to have with your grilled meat. Of course it needs to be refrigerated but I like that first bowl when everything is at room temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip_Some_Lip Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks for the replies. That should get me started. Is anyone else hungry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
