Perfect Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring whole potatoes to a boil in a large covered pan. Boil for 25 minutes.
• Drain potatoes well and peel while still warm.
• Quarter and dice potatoes (I dice mine a little larger then what I'd like because they break down a bit in the mixing and become the perfect size)
• Add potatoes to large salad bowl.
• Add diced celery, onion and dill pickle.
• Combine mayonnaise through salt in a small mixing bowl to make the perfect potato salad dressing.
• Stir the dressing into the potato mixture.
• Add chopped eggs.
• Stir well.
• Cover potato salad and place in the refrigerator for a good hour to allow the potatoes to meld with the flavors of the other ingredients. It will be worth the wait!

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil; cook until tender for about 15- 20 minutes.
• Drain and cool potatoes. Put in a bowl with the eggs.
• Combine remaining ingredients together; pour over potatoes and eggs and mix throughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours but highly recommend overnight so flavors blend.
• **To serve place salad in pretty glass lettuce lined bowl. Garnish with additional egg slices and sprinkle with paprika.**.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes.
• Slice potatoes about 1/4 inch, like thick potato chip.
• Boil potatoes until el dente, you don't want them too soft.
• Drain potatoes, let sit for a few minutes in strainer, they will continue to cook.
• Rinse potatoes in cold water for a few minutes.
• Combine the rest of all the ingredients.
• Fold in mayo mixture with potatoes.
• Refrigerate for at least four hours.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 mins until just cooked, drain, then cool.
• Cut the potatoes into chunks, then throw into a bowl with the shallots, capers and cornichons, if using. Add enough mayonnaise to bind, then mix together the olive oil and vinegar and add just enough to give a little sharpness to the salad. Stir in the finely chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Steam potatoes with skin on.
• Mix together all ingredients except potatoes.
• When potatoes are done, cut (it's up to you whether or not you want to leave the skins on) while still warm and fold together with the mayo mixture - it makes it taste better to combine while warm.
• Put into serving container and garnish.
• Refrigerate for at least three hours before serving (the longer the better).
• This potato salad is even better then next day!
• Note from Julie: I use the dried minced onion because I like their texture, omit the celery, and add about 1/4 tsp of both curry powder and dried mustard... but don't tell Mom. ;)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and chop.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, relish, garlic salt, celery salt, mustard, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
• When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
• Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Do not peel potatoes, cut into bite size pieces and bake or boil (personally I prefer baked) them until they are tender.
• Boil eggs while potatoes are cooking. Let them both cool after cooking.
• Add shredded pickles to eggs and potatoes in a large bowl.
• Mix mayo, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Add about 2/3 of dressing to salad. Mix well; if it needs more dressing, add the rest. Sometimes it doesn't need any more.
• Add crumbled bacon last, mixing most of it into the salad and leaving enough for a layer on top of the salad.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain. Cool, peel and dice. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, 1 teaspoon of salt, and hard-cooked eggs.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
• Stir the dressing into the bowl of potato salad gently until evenly coated. Chill several hours or overnight before serving for best flavor.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a large pot and add water to cover by 2 inches. Add 3 teaspoons salt and eggs; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer 9 minutes. Remove eggs to an ice bath. Drain potatoes when fork-tender; they may need another minute or so.
• Peel and chop eggs and set aside.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, onions, celery, dill, pickles, juice and pepper in a large bowl; stir to combine. Stir in potatoes and eggs until well blended, mashing potatoes very slightly. Check for seasoning and add up to 1 teaspoon salt if desired.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with olives. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
