The Best Potato Salad

"I found this on foodiecrush.com, and I was skeptical because it didn't have pickles or pickle juice or relish or anything, but it actually is the best recipe I've had in a very long time. The secret must be in keeping it simple. I added a dozen eggs to this recipe (personal preference), but I"ll post as written."

directions

  • Bring potatoes to a boil in large pot of cold water that's been liberally salted.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high or a lightly rolling boil and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a pairing knife. Drain and let cool until just able to handle.
  • Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into large diced pieces.
  • Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar and stir.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool, about 15 minutes. Add the celery and green onions.
  • Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, yellow mustard, celery seed, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • 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 an hour or overnight before serving.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
