Classic Potato Salad
Classic Potato Salad
5 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped celery (optional)
For the marinade:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Paprika
Rinse, peel and slice potatoes into small cubes. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Boil potatoes until just tender. Be sure not to over-boil them as they will turn into mashed potatoes. While potatoes are cooking, mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Once potatoes are tender, drain water and place potatoes in a bowl. Pour 3/4 of marinade over potatoes, tossing to coat evenly. *Yes, pour the marinade over potatoes while potatoes are warm. Set bowl in the refrigerator to cool at least one hour. Once chilled, remove bowl from refrigerator and pour remaining 1/4 marinade on potatoes, along with 3/4 cup mayonnaise. Mix well. If you prefer a creamier salad, add an additional 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Add in the chopped hard boiled eggs, celery if using, and salt. Toss to mix everything evenly and serve or place back in refrigerator until ready to eat!!
