This is my Mom’s recipe for Potato Salad and it’s much loved by everyone who ever tasted it. The recipe has been handed out many times. I’m putting it here so everyone can try it. Enjoy!
5-6 cups sliced, cooked & cooled potatoes. (We prefer Russets.)
1 medium onion, chopped.
5-6 hard boiled eggs, cooled & coarsely chopped.
Dressing:
1/2 cup Kraft Real Mayonise
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
1-2 teaspoons yellow mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Secret ingredient… about a tablespoon of SWEET PICKLE JUICE. Very important!!!
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing together well and refrigerate for at least an hour. It will thicken and the flavor will improve. If the dressing is too runny, add some more mayo.
THEN…
Mix the potatoes, onion and eggs together and pour dressing on top. Mix thoroughly, but gently. Mom always reserved a couple extra boiled eggs and sliced them on top of the salad to give it a nice look. Add a shake of pepper or paprika on top and return to refrigerator for a while, if you can stand to wait. All the flavors will blend and it will taste awesome. It’s even better the next day! Yummy!
PS: I always double or triple this recipe. You’ll see why.
