My mother, Helen, was a cook. She had the knack for creating the most wonderful tasting food, and our family gathered around her table every evening to partake in the dishes she lovingly made for us. Thanks, mom; this blog is a tribute to you.
The Best Potato Salad Ever!
Helen's Recipes
"This recipe my mother uses for potato salad might be the best ever; everyone in the family loves it." The great thing about it, besides the flavor, is that it is so easy to prepare. "Simple, yes; affordable, yes; and it tastes out of this world!" I recommend it!
Prep Time: 15 Min Cook Time: 45 Min
Ingredients:
3 pounds potatoes (regular white potatoes)
1 medium onion, diced
2-3 hard-boiled eggs for salad
1-2 hard boiled eggs for the top
Paprika
1 cup mayo (use real mayo, not salad dressing)
Directions:
Clean, peel, and cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Boil potatoes until cooked, about 30 to 45 minutes until fork-tender, depending on the size of the cut potatoes.
Drain and run cool water over the potatoes to stop the cooking process.
Add chopped onions and chopped hard boiled eggs once the mixture has cooled slightly.
Gently add mayo and stir until mixed.
Slice a hard-boiled egg and put it on top of the dish.
Sprinkle paprika on top of sliced hard-boiled eggs.
Put the potato in the refrigerator for at least 4–5 hours until it's cold.
"It can be made ahead of time, it travels well, it’s inexpensive to make, it’s easy to prepare a large batch for a crowd, and it goes well with all manner of grilled foods."
