Snappy Potato Salad Recipes

MY GRANDMA'S BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or paring knife. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2" to 3/4" square pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar. Toss the potatoes with the vinegar and set the potatoes aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
• Add the celery and the green onions to the potato mixture. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
• In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed and salt and pepper. Fold into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

SAM'S SNAPPY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel 5 lb bag of potatoes (I leave a little of the skin on). Rinse and put in dutch oven. Boil until cooked but not falling apart. Drain and mash til they are small pieces but not like mashed potato (unless you like them mashed).
• Add onion, celery, sweet pickles, and boiled eggs. Adjust ingredients to your liking. Add the 12 oz carton of pimiento cheese and mix well.
• To make dressing, add 2 or 3 globs of miracle whip or mayonnaise to a bowl and add mustard. Add some sweet pickle juice and mix with a whisk. Again, adjust to your liking.
• Add the dressing to the potato salad and add salt and pepper if you'd like and mix well. Make more dressing and add if you need to. Cover and refrigerate.
