Today recipe is a favorite that we have enjoyed for decade and it is my variation of potato salad based on a Betty Crocker recipe dating back to the early 70s. Enjoy!
Ingredients
6 -8 medium boiling
potatoes
1/2 - 3/4 cup cups regular mayonnaise or
salad dressing
3 tablespoons sweet relish
1 tablespoon white
vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yellow
mustard
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 medium celery stalks,
chopped
½ cup onion, chopped
½ cup red, green or
yellow bell pepper
½ med-large of an apple,
any color, chopped
4 -6 hard cooked eggs,
chopped
Directions
- Scrub potatoes (add a few drops of Dawn to help lift the dirt).
- Peel skins off and remove eyes.
- Cut potatoes into cubes
- Cover potatoes water in 3 to 4 quarts sauce pan; add salt and heat to boiling
- Reduce heat
- Cook 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain.
- Cool a few minutes.
- When potatoes are cool enough put potatoes in medium to large bowl
- With the exception of the eggs, add in all other ingredients, and mix well.
- Sprinkle with Sweet paprika for garnish
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2- 4 hours.
- Serve boiled eggs separately, sliced or whole
- Addition salt and pepper at table for personal taste
Note: The reason I did not add the eggs directly into the
salad is that my mom told me that putting eggs in potato salad makes it turn bad quicker.
Chow!
