Drive to the grocery store and buy 2 lbs! Just kidding!

The receipe I have used for years is from my Grandmother ( who I suspect lifted it off the back of the mayo jar) so I dont have specifics,but it's really good.

Potatoes ( duh )
Mayonaise
Mustard
Chopped Onion
1-2 boiled eggs chopped
Apple Cider Vinegar
Salt and Pepper ( not the 80's rap group)

boil the potatoes and eggs ( not together that would be messy ) and cut up the potatoes in bite size pieces. Throw in some mayonaise and mustard ( make it kinda yellow-y) and dice the onion and throw that in. Drizzle some vinegar on it and mix it up, salt and pepper to taste. She used to put condensed milk in it but the only reason she did it was because her mother did it and no one knew why. It is pretty tasty. <-potato salad wizard!

The key to making great potato salad is to put the potatoes in the freezer after you have boiled them. This helps them cool and evaporate the excess water so you don't end up with watery/mushy potato salad! You only have to put them in for about 30minutes. My favorite recipe is Yukon Gold Potatoes, Hard boiled eggs, pickles, green onion, celery, mayo and mustard. I just eye ball all of it!

Thanks for all your recipes!!! I will have hubby take a look and see what he thinks sounds most like his mom's (she has passed) I forgot to mention that I don't eat the stuff myself, so that is probably most of my problem. One more question, can you use Mircle Whip, or does it have to be Helmans????

What about the pickles??? Potato salad without pickles is like, well, sad.

How about one without mayo? Oil and vinegar? Anyone?

I have never made one but I saw a recipe for this on the Kraft Foods website. It's just kraftfoods (dot) com

Mmmm. this is the recipe I use as well. But, I let the onions sit in some vinegar first. Gives the salad a little bite.

I'm so in the mood for potato salad now.

Miracle Whip is "dressing," Hellman's is Mayonaise!

Totally different.

So yes it must be Hellman's!

Here is what I do...

Red potato peeled and boiled until just soft
Boiled eggs chopped
Sweet pickles (add a little juice too if you like)
mayonaise (I like Blue Plate brand)
mustard, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix to taste and consistency you want.

I use any russet potato---peeled and boiled
Hard boiled eggs
Celery
Onion
Kraft Mayo, thinned a little with milk
A little yellow mustard---to color it yellow
I also add a little seasoning mix

I don't have any measurements, just add the amounts I want.

The Mayo, milk, mustard & seasonings are all mixed together and then poured into the bowl of the other items.

I cool the potatoes before cutting for the salad. I think the salad tastes better the next day.
