Southern Potato salad
Ingredients
- 7-8 whole Youkan Gold Potatoes
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 4 hard boiled eggs, diced
- 1/4-1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green pepper, diced
- 1-2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 2-3 tbsp dill relish (depends on your preference)
- 1 tsp sweet relish
- 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped or a pinch of dried dill
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Old Bay (optional)
- pinch of cayenne (optional)
- pinch of smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
- quality mayonnaise like Hellman's or Dukes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the potatoes whole, skin on to a pot of salted water. Cook until fork tender. When done, drain and place the potatoes in a large bowl that you can easily mix your ingredients. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, yet still warm, remove the skin. If you leave some of the skin on that's fine.
- Dice your eggs and add to your potatoes that you have allowed to sit with the vinegar and a little salt and pepper. Add your onions, bell peppers, celery and your dill and sweet relish. Add your seasonings, your mustard, and start with a little mayonnaise at a time until you reach the creaminess you desire. Check for salt and pepper.
- Place your potato salad in a serving dish and sprinkle with a little smoked paprika. Chill until ready to serve.
