My favorite potato salad recipe been making this 33 years now has potatoes, shallot (onion), flat parsley , sweet & sour gherkins/dill pickles diced into bits, hard-boiled eggs, dill spice, fine seasalt, freshly milled black pepper & white pepper and paprika powder , plenty of mayonaisse of a good quality. Mix everything well and leave a few hours preferably overnight in the fridge so flavors blend well.Any leftovers are a good sandwhich filler. Happy eating.
I always like my friends moms potato salad better than my moms and as an adult I figured out why: friends used Mayo and mom used Miracle Whip and sweet pickles. I still do not like M. whip. My recipe for potato salad is taken from one of my very best friends, years ago. She is now dead, but I think of her almost everytime I make it.
diced potatoes
diced celery
chopped green onions
chopped dill pickles
chopped hard boiled eggs
a combination of sour cream and mayo
I also add a healthy spoon of spiced mustard.
It is still basically a very simple potato salad, but the sour cream just adds a little different flavor.
You're all making my mouth water! It looks also like there are a few ingredients you all have in common like dill pickles- not something I've used in a potato salad - I know what will be on my next shopping list
Years ago a neighbor served me this potato salad. Such a simple recipe, but so good. You can make as much or as little as you want, using this ratio.
1 onion for every 2 potatoes
1 hardboiled egg for every potato
Boil potatoes in skin. When tender, remove skin and flake with a fork into small pieces. While potatoes are still hot, pour Catalina French salad dressing over them. Let dressing soak into potatoes and when cooled a bit, add chopped onions and hardboiled eggs, then enough mayonnaise to taste.
This is one of the best and most delicious I've ever come across:
Mixed New Potato Salad with Sweet Basil and Shallots
serves 4-6
3 pounds mixed red and white new potatoes
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
4 large shallots, chopped roughly
2 cups fresh sweet basil, loosely packed
Fresh black pepper
Leaving the potato skins on, cut into bite-sized pieces and boil in salted water until just fork-tender. Quickly drain and set aside.
Whisk the dairy and honey together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss the potatoes with the dressing, shallots and basil. Refrigerate. Serve at room temperature, warm, or hot.
