I have enjoyed this recipe for years, and now so do my children. The secret to this recipe is the sweet pickles. You can also trade the mayo for salad dressing.

MOM'S EASY POTATO SALAD RECIPE



Mom's Easy Potato Salad Recipe image

Everyone loves a good potato salad on a hot summer day! If you haven't made it for awhile, this is a new recipe you NEED to try!

Provided by Kristen Hills

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 potatoes (cooked)
8 eggs (hard boiled)
¾ cup dill or sweet pickles (diced)
2 celery stalks (diced)
1 cup mayonnaise ((you could also use Miracle Whip))
3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
salt and pepper (to taste)
Salad Supreme Seasoning (optional to sprinkle on top)

Steps:

  • Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 30-40 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato, but not too soft that they just fall apart. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool (I usually put the potatoes in the fridge to cool).
  • Once your potatoes are cool, peel and dice. Place diced potatoes, diced celery, and pickles in a large bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl (sometimes I will set aside 1 egg and slice it to put on top of the potato salad for presentation - totally not necessary, it's just what my mom always did).
  • In a separate small bowl, mix your mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potato mixture in the big bowl and gently fold together. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with Salad Supreme seasoning. As mentioned before, you can also save 1 hard boiled egg to slice and add it to the top.
