MAMA'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• 1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes; place in a 5 quart pot, cover with water (I add some salt to water); boil for approximately 7 to 8 minutes (time may vary so check for firmness around 5 to 6 minutes, don't over cook and don't under cook, you don't want mashed potato salad and you don't want under cooked potatoes; drain and rinse in cold water; drain well.
• 2. While potatoes are draining and cooling off; combine chopped onion and eggs; set aside.
• 3. In a separate bowl, combine pickles, celery, salt and pepper, mustard and mayonnaise.
• 4. Once potatoes are cooled; add chopped onion and eggs; fold together gently; add mayonnaise mixture and combine gently with other ingredients; if salad seems like you don't need all the mayonnaise mixture; don't use it all, if salad seems to dry, add additional mayonnaise.
• 5. Garnish top with sliced boiled eggs and sprinkle with paprika if desired.
• 6. NOTE: This was an excellent choice for a side to go with https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-jalapeno-bourbon-ribs-dee-dees/pork and https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits.

MOM'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a 5 quart pan with potatoes, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. The type of potato you use depends on how you like your potato salad - we like the potatoes to be very well done and cut up fairly small. I usually use russet potatoes. If you use red potatoes, you will get firmer, more indiviualized pieces of potatoes in your salad.
• After potatoes are cooked, let them cool. Peel and cut up in bite-sized cubes.
• Make at least 6 hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool and cut them up.
• Dice up onions and celery.
• Dressing: Whisk together Miracle Whip, milk, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, mustard and relish.
• , Mix all ingredients together and fold in dressing.
