Hello, Readers! Here is another great recipe from MissIceTee's Kitchen series! It's called Homemade Potato Salad - but I threw in the "southern" to convey how good it tastes! I remember my sister use to make it well - so yesterday, I decided to try my hand at it and was completely happy with the results!
There are other Potato Salad recipes out there and I'm sure they probably taste good. But this is the one that I used. You can also alter the ingredients to your liking. Enjoy and Happy Eating!
Southern Homemade Potato Salad
Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes.
1/4 white or yellow onion (optional)
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 oz sweet relish
paprika
Peel the potatoes and then slice into chunks. If you aim for 1 inch by 1 inch chunk you will do well.
Boil the potatoes until they are done but not overcooked I use the test here where I stick the fork in and it meets a little resistance but not too much. How long you boil them depends upon how big they are. You do want the potatoes done though since no further cooking is involve. If you overcook them, they don't really hurt the recipe since the extra potato just mixes in with the creamy portion of the mixture.
Boil the eggs over medium high heat until hard boiled.
Allow the potatoes and eggs to cool. You can run cold water over them in a strainer to speed up the process.
Peel and slice the eggs into 1/2 inch pieces.
Chop the onion into very small pieces. I made this optional because you WILL be able to smell the onion on your breath. Therefore, if a little close contact is planned anytime soon you probably want to leave the onion out.
Stir all ingredients gently except for the paprika.
After all ingredients are well mixed, pour into a bowl. Add the parika across the top. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
