Mom's Famous Potato Salad Recipe
5:40 AM
One my family’s favorite Easter tradition is actually eating mom's potato salad. Its a bit of a labor of love due to all the chopping but totally worth it. Even as a child I could not stand any one else's potato salad because I had been eating the best potato salad all my life. I remember eating a store bought potato salad and spitting it out because I thought it was surely poisoned it was so bad. This is an old recipe that my family has been making before I was even born and its so good that we haven't altered it a bit. We always make a big bowl of this because it goes faster than the main dish. You can make it a day or two before serving and It will still taste amazing. Also it makes a great left over dish as well. And now I’m sharing this coveted recipe with you.
Need:
8-10 - medium, cooked, peeled, and cubed Russet potatoes
1 dozen of peeled, boiled and chopped eggs
15 oz (about half a jar)- Mayo
5 oz (about half a jar)- Sweet Relish
1 can of Medium Black Olives sliced
1/2 cup of diced red onions
1 cup of chopped celery
1. In a large bowl gently add potatoes, eggs, olives, celery, and onions.
2. Stir in relish and mayo until mixed evenly.
3. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover and store in fridge.
ENJOY!
ENJOY!

I know how yummy this is...in Argentina they call it Russian salad, only instead of celery & onion they do little cubbed and boiled carrots.
ReplyDeleteIn Brasil is called Potato Maionese, and there is a variation you can try too: add a can of tuna flakes.
