I always find that peeling eggs under running water is the best, plus it washes away all of the residual shell. Just throw them into a dish towel together and roll them around and they're dry.

@beth-af 9 месяцев назад

My mom would peel her potatoes before boiling and as soon as they were done drain them well and then splash them with the vinegar. The potatoes would soak up the vinegar and it just makes it so much better

I love how easy that was. It’s very similar to how my family makes ours. We just incorporate a little bit of celery for texture and some relish for sweetness and that makes for an even better potato salad.

@stevenbergom3415 9 месяцев назад

You have to let the potato salad sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before serving. It gives the flavors a chance to really meld and makes for a demonstrably better flavor.

My sister did it similar to this but instead of olives, she used pickles and yellow mustard. My favorite ever. It's tough to admit it but the use of those green olives w that brineyness and the pimiento rather is just genius. And the plain white vinegar to season the potatoes . This recipe is beautiful. 🥹

@Kristiekins2 9 месяцев назад

Yellow mustard is a MUST for me with potato salad. My mum also makes it with mashed potatoes, not cubed, which I know some people really hate but for me it's my favourite.

@michaeld2662 4 дня назад

My Mom made the best potato salad i ever ate. She taught me to add the vinegar to warm potatoes, sweet pickle relish, diced onion and diced celery, salt, pepper, a little garlic powder and when all cooled down, mayo to taste. Mix gently until just blended and don’t be rough or over mix. Make it the day before you want to eat it.

@bjorksven 9 месяцев назад

I really like onion with my potatoes, I'd definitely add some finely chopped shallots or something, maybe chop in some pickled red onion along with the pickling juice. That being said, I'm a huge fan of mustardy potato salads, maybe with some dill and green beans and radishes. Probably some capers. And definitely some shallots.

@TinyDancer888 5 дней назад

Yes, my mom used to make the best potato salad with eggs, olives, some chopped garlic, mayo and I think a little mustard. Sometimes she used a little celery but never sugar.

@Unbreakable1986 8 месяцев назад

Try this one on for size: red potatoes (do no peeling!), diced boiled eggs, diced dill pickles, diced polish sausage, 50/50 blend whole egg mayonnaise and salad cream (e.g. Heinz), salt and pepper to taste. The ratios of the diced additions are up to you, I'm in favour of being a little heavy handed. Oh, some sort of diced onion is nice also, but I don't tend to because children complain

It was so simple but so delicious! I have developed my own potato salad over the years but I keep some of it while I making it for myself and my adult daughter and use the green olives. It takes me back. Potato salad is definitely in everyone's happiest memories of family and friends!

That's a clever technique to chop the eggs. My variant is to add chopped cornichons to introduce the vinegar element into the dressing, along with some fresh dill. Also, I think it's really important to dress the potatoes while they are still warm.

@bubgum00 2 дня назад

Potato salad is best with red potatoes peeled and diced in thick chunks. For the base..Use Mayo, brown spicy mustard, and Texas Pete hot sauce. Add egg if you want to and diced Mt. Olive dill pickles. Add a dash of celery seed and salt and pepper.
