Cousin Lori’s Potato Salad
It’s very simple with not a lot of ingredients, just savory, potatoey, eggy, goodness. I’ve been making it so long and haven’t had to think about measurements for a while, but I think it is pretty accurate.
I usually do 1-2 potatoes per person (figure on 2nds). Here’s my recipe for 5 potatoes. Please note the Egg, Onion & Celery preparations below.
-
5 Idaho Potatoes. Boil whole w/skin on. Drain.
-
10 Eggs. Boil.
-
1 Med. Brown Onion
-
1-2 Celery Stalks (depending on size & preference)
-
2+ Cups Best Foods (Hellman’s) Mayo (I like Mayo)
-
About 3/4 Cup Yellow Mustard (more if you like)
-
About 1 heaping tsp Sugar
-
Can add Relish (I prefer to have it as a condiment on the side, because it makes the salad watery, imo)
-
Peel cooked potatoes & cut in 3/4” squares (approx)
-
Use a box grater (big hole side) to grate Eggs & Onions or chop very fine.
-
Chop Celery very fine.
-
Combine Mayo, Mustard, Pepper & lots of Salt (potatoes like salt). Then fold in Potatoes, Onions & Celery.
