Many times I would help my grandma make a huge Tupperware bowl of Potato salad to take to church dinners or family dinners, she made THE BEST Potato salad and everyone would rave and clean out her dish!
Here is what we did
you will need
approx 5lb potatos
miracle whip or Mayo
dill pickles
sweet yellow onion
mustard
pickle juice
salt
pepper
Use about 5lbs of potatos
peel potatos and cut up in chunks and place in a big pan
just cover with water and bring to a boil, then boil until tender and ready to mash
Drain and mash, add salt and pepper to taste
let cool a little then add
1 1/2 cups miracle whip or mayo
1 tablespoon of mustard
1/3 to 1/2 cup pickle juice from the jar of dill pickles
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cup finely chopped pickles
Mix well and chill to serve
you can also add boiled chopped up eggs if you desire
and on the mayo you can add more or less depending on your taste
the one problem with cooking from scratch it is so hard to duplicate
recipes, since we tend to add a little of this or that without measuring
I hope if you try it you enjoy!
This is one of my favorites for holiday meals, with barbeque beef sandwiches,
fried chicken etc. Always get many raves on this recipe and like my grandma always said the secret to our tasty potato salad is the pickle juice :)
