Moms Super Stupendous Potato Salad Recipes

MOM'S CLASSIC POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the potatoes in the pot and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water until the potatoes are cool. Cut the potatoes into ½" chunks, peeling the skin off as you go (although if you like, you can keep the skin on).
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Pour in the vinegar, then add in the celery, onion, boiled egg, pickles (if desired), mayo, and seasonings. Using a spatula, stir the mixture until evenly coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill, for about 1 hour.

MOM'S CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. In a covered saucepan, cook potatoes (still whole and unpeeled) in boiling salted water for 25 to 30 minutes until fork tender; drain well and cool long enough to handle. Peel (with a paring knife) and cube potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl; add onions and eggs. Combine mayonnaise or salad dressing, sugar, celery seed, vinegar, yellow mustard, salt and curry powder. Add mayonnaise mixture to potatoes. Toss lightly to coat potato mixture. Cover and chill thoroughly (preferably overnight). Makes 8 servings.
• 2. Serve with additional hard-cooked eggs, sliced, as decoration and sprinkle lightly with paprika (and parsley, if desired).
• 3. You can double the recipe (use 5 lbs potatoes) for larger groups.
