Debbies Personal Potato Salad Recipes

DEBBIE'S PERSONAL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and cut raw potatoes into cubes. Rinse well and boil for 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside. Make sure these are totally dry before mixing your potato salad. I often set them on a clean towel spread out on a cookie sheet for about half an hour.
• Boil eggs, shell, rinse with cold water, chop and set aside. Chop Vidalia onion and also set aside.
• When boiled potatoes are air dried, mix cubed potatoes, chopped eggs and onion in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate small bowl mix the miracle whip salad dressing, Green Goddess salad dressing, salt and black pepper. Pour over potatoes, egg and onion mixture and gently mix together. You may top with a gentle shake of paprika, and or sliced boiled eggs. Chill and serve.
• Note: Some people enjoy more sauce in their salads, so just increase the two salad dressings per your personal taste. Be sure to increase or decrease your salt and pepper as well.

DEBORAH ROBERTS PERRY, GEORGIA POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Put the potatoes in a pot and add water to cover them by about 2 inches. Salt the water generously. Cover the pot and set it over high heat. Bring the water to a boil, then add the eggs. Reduce the heat to a brisk simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes can just be pierced by a fork, about 15 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the pot and set them aside. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Rinse the eggs under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Peel and chop 2 of the eggs and add them to the potatoes. Add the onion, pimento, and relish to the potatoes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and mustard. Spoon over the potato salad, season with salt and pepper, and mix gently.
• Peel the remaining egg and slice it, placing the slices on top of the potato salad. Sprinkle with the paprika.
• Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
