Categories     Side Dish

Time P1DT1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs of russet potatoes
18 eggs
1 1/2 10 oz jars of Sweet Tiny Midget Pickles
1 large yellow onion
20 oz (about 2/3 of a 30 oz jar) of Miracle Whip
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup mayo
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the potatoes and boil them with the peel on. Boil them until the peel begins to crack, that's how you'll know they're done.
  • Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool until you can handle them.
  • Hard boil the 18 eggs, and then remove them from the water until they're cool. This step can also be done in advance if you want to save some waiting time for them to cool.
  • Peel the potatoes, then chop them into bite size pieces (about 1 inch cubes). Place the chopped potato in a very large bowl.
  • Once the boiled eggs have cooled enough to peel, chop them into small pieces. Add the chopped pieces to the potatoes.
  • Chop the onion and the pickles into very small, minced pieces. Grandma always made us do this by hand, but you can do it with a food chopper if you're pressed for time.
  • Add the pickles and the onions to the potatoes and eggs.
  • Add in and mix the miracle whip, mayo, yellow mustard, and salt and then use a large spoon to mix until it's all incorporated.
  • Cover the potato salad and place it in the fridge for 24 hours, or overnight if you waited til last minute.
  • If the potato salad seems very dry the next day, it's because the potatoes absorbed some of the liquid. Add up to half a cup more of miracle whip or mayo (whatever you prefer) to help re-moisten it.

BEST CLASSIC POTATO SALAD



Best Classic Potato Salad image

Creamy, tangy, and crunchy, with a hint of spice and sweetness from pickles, this reminds me of my grandmother's potato salad served every Easter or any time we had barbecue. She always dotted it with olives for a finishing touch and a perfect briny addition. This is the best classic version of good old-fashioned, Southern-style potato salad. Not too mayonaissey with just the right amount of tang! Serve with grilled or smoked meats as the perfect side dish.

2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ cup chopped spicy sweet dill pickles (such as Wickles™), plus 2 teaspoons pickle juice
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika

GRANDMA'S POTATO SALAD



Grandma's Potato Salad image

For a classic potato salad, this is hand's down the best I've ever tasted. It is time consuming, but the end result is definately worth it! This is more of a white color potato salad, don't make the mistake of adding mustard to color it...I tried it once and it ruined the taste...tasted like any other potato salad. This makes lots, but it goes fast!
