CLASSIC AMERICAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring to ensure even cooking, until a thin-bladed paring knife or a metal skewer inserted into a potato can be removed with no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Cool slightly.
• Cut warm potatoes into 3/4-inch dice with a serrated knife. Layer them in a bowl, seasoning with vinegar, salt and pepper as you go. Cut eggs, celery and pickle in 1/4-inch dice and thinly slice scallions. Add to potatoes, along with parsley. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard until everything is combined. Chill, covered, before serving.

NAN'S CLASSIC MUSTARD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in the peel with the whole eggs.
• Remove the eggs after 10 minutes of boiling, and remove and drain the potatoes when just fork tender.
• Let eggs and potatoes cool to room temperature.
• Peel all and refrigerate whole potatoes and eggs until cold.
• The potatoes will dice and hold up better when cold.
• Dice the potatoes into 1/4- 3/8" dice.
• Place into a very large container with a lid.
• (I have a 4 1/2 qrt glass bowl-shaped casserole with lid that's perfect.) Crumble the eggs (I do this by squishing them in my hand) and add to the container with the diced potatoes.
• Very finely (like the size of dill relish pieces) chop the onion, celery and pickles.
• Add to the potatoes and eggs.
• Gently stir to mix the ingredients evenly.
• In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle juice, cream, salt, pepper and sugar.
• Whisk until creamy.
• Pour over potato mixture.
• Gently stir until the dry particles are coated with the creamy mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• 6- 8 hours is even better.
• If you like color you can sprinkle some sweet paprika over the top.

CLASSIC MUSTARD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place your peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork or knife.
• Drain the water off the potatoes and place in a large bowl.
• Place the stick of butter into the potatoes and allow to melt.
• Once the butter has melted mix in eggs, onions, celery, and diced pickles.
• When adding in the pickle juice, mayonnaise, and mustard you can adjust amounts to your liking. The salad should be creamy and moist, not runny.
• Finish by mixing in the garlic salt and pepper.
• My family enjoys the potato salad when it is warm so we usually serve immediately. You can cover and chill before serving and it is also good.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
• As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
• Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
• Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.
