Potato salad recipes (cook, pot, oven, juice)

[dsh1127]

I am not a fan of traditional potato salad, so I make a Bacon Ranch potato salad. I cut up and boil the potatoes, and after they have cooled, add Ranch w/Bacon dressing, about a tablespoon (full) of mayo, bacon bits, dill weed, and salt and pepper - all to taste. Sometimes I add egg. I have made it with red, or regular potatoes, both are good.

Actually, that is what I have been asked to bring for Easter dinner!

This is the one I use and it turns out great every time. I add black olives (chopped finely) and adjust the measurements to fit my needs. But you get the idea.

Once again, I'm amazed at all the different recipes there are! I am especially intrigued by yours, phonelady. It is like nothing I've ever seen. So, just to be sure, by "green pepper", do you mean "bell pepper"?

I can't wait to update my husband on all these various choices. Once the weather warms up, we'll be ready to start making potato salad again. Whoopee!

Thank you all!

Boiled red potatoes (I use most of a 5-lb bag or whatever fits well in a stock pot)
Boiled egg (4-6 I think, but I'm usually cooking for deviled eggs at the same time. I chop them in the food processor)
Chopped onion (1 large spanish type more or less to taste...some times they're too hot and I use less)
Sweet pickle relish (8oz jar...the middle sized one) Dump in the whole thing, don't drain.
Miracle Whip (several heaping tablespoons...maybe 4oz?)
Mayo (a couple of heaping tablespoons...maybe 2oz? because hubby likes mayo)
Mustard (one heaping tablespoon...just for color and a little zip)
Apple Cider Vinegar (one tablespoon more or less depends on whether you like tangy or sweet)
Salt (depends on the potato how much to add...I just sprinkle and taste test until I get it right)

This yields a large tupperware-type bowl full and feeds eight with enough for leftovers.

I hope this is close to correct. Next holiday, I'll try to remember to write down the ingredients...my daughter asks me for the recipe on a regular basis.

This sounds good. I prefer basic potato salad and this seems close to it. The only thing I like extra is bacon bits, that's it. My Mom put a bit of shredded carrots also. I've also mixed some FF sour cream with the vinegar and mayo to cut the fat.

Then add the dozen eggs. Peel the potatoes, and cube..add the wet ingredients and refrigerate.. I have used my Mom's recipe for years and people always ask me to make the Potato Salad.

That sounds just like my mother in laws recipe except she doesn't use green onions and celery. She uses very finely chopped Vidalia or sweet onions. She will ONLY use Hellman's REAL may (but not a whole jar). She makes sure she mixes the potatoes when they are hot - so her potato salad is not chunky but smooth, rich and delicious. Everyone raves over her salad, too.
