Classic Potato Salad
Description
Classic Potato Salad begins with firm, yellow potatoes boiled with skins on and cooled before peeling and slicing to retain their shape. The salad combines these potatoes with chopped dill or sweet pickles, celery, yellow onion, and hard-boiled chopped eggs for varied texture and flavor.
The mayonnaise-based sauce features brown mustard, white vinegar, salt, freshly ground black pepper, sugar, and fresh parsley, lending a balanced tang and subtle sweetness to the creamy dressing. Folding the dressing gently into the salad helps maintain the integrity of the potato slices for a pleasing bite.
Chilling the potato salad for at least two hours, preferably longer, allows flavors to meld and improves the overall taste. It's a popular side for outdoor meals and gatherings, pairing well with grilled or roasted meats.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potatoes scrubbed and boiled with skins on in lightly salted water (do not overcook or the potatoes will be mushy), then peeled and left to cool completely before slicing, firm, yellow
- 1/3 cup dill pickles can use sweet pickles if you prefer, chopped
- 2 celery chopped, large stalks
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 4 egg chilled and then chopped, large, boiled
- For the Mayo Sauce:
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Sliced the cooled potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Place in a large mixing bowl along with the chopped vegetables and eggs.
- To make the Mayo Sauce, combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the potato salad and stir very carefully until combined, being as careful as you can not to break up the potatoes too much.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, preferably longer. This potato salad gets better the longer it sits. It's fabulous the next day.
