Easy Potato Salad

Here is yet another simple Potato Salad Recipe that is just a little different than the one I make most of the time. I could spend a lifetime trying ever potato salad recipe out there but I really stick to the basics when it comes to this recipe.

Ingredients

4 lbs of red potatoes

4 eggs

1 stalk diced celery

1/3 cup sweet pickle relish

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons prepared mustard

1/3 cup mayonnaise

Directions

Boil the potatoes till they are fork tender which should take about 14 minutes after the water starts to boil.

Drain them and let them cool down before you chop them up in to equal size pieces.

Peel and cut up your hard boiled eggs. I tend to make some thin slices of the egg to decorate the dish.

Mix the celery, sweet relish, garlic, mustard, mayonnaise up in a smaller bowl to get them incorporated well.

Now add the sauce to the potatoes and mix gently. You don’t want to end up with mashed potato salad, that’s another recipe.

Add the Egg in last as it will turn to mush if you try to mix it to much.

As always its best if you let the potato salad sit over night to absorb the dressing, and I always make a little extra dressing to add to the potato salad just before I server it to. Also if you add bacon to it hold some back till you serve it so you get some crisp bacon it there too.

When I was researching potato salad recipes I was amazed at the variation of what I thought was such a simple dish. There are thousands of recipes out there and all taste just a little different . The only limitation is your imagination when it comes to potato salad recipes

Game day is tommorrow so i will make the potato salad today.  As always potato salad tatse better the next day when it has had time to absorb the flavors of the dressing. On thing that i do is to wait to put the bacon bits on so that the are still crisp when you eat it.  I hate soft bacon in my potato salad.
