Brendas Potato Salad Recipes

PERFECT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in halves or thirds, then boil until fork tender. Drain. Mash the potatoes or run them through a ricer or food mill to make them extra fluffy.
• Fold the potatoes together with the mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, dill, salt, pepper, paprika and other seasonings you like. Fold in the pickles, pickle juice and eggs, and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, mustard or mayo as needed.

GRANDMA'S CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into cubes.
• Mix mayonnaise, celery, onion, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add potatoes and mix to combine. Stir in eggs and sprinkle with paprika.

SWEET POTATO SLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, apple, pineapple and pecans. Add dressing; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

BAKED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and prick them with a fork or knife.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• At this point you can peel all of them, or peel half of them and leave the skin on the other half to get a real baked potato feel. Cut the potatoes into small, pieces.
• Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir well.
• Add the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sauce (just enough to coat them well--you may not use it all) and gently stir to coat.
• Add most of the bacon, onion and cheese, reserving some for topping at the end, and gently stir to combine.

SOUTHERN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Set over high heat and cook just until fork tender. Be careful to keep an eye on the potatoes because if they overcook they will get mushy.
• When the potatoes are soft, drain them in a strainer and let them cool while you prepare the other salad ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped pickles, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.
• Add the potatoes to the mixing bowl along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, green onions, and celery. Stir gently to combine.
• Taste and season with the desired amount of kosher salt and black pepper.
