Homemade Deli-Style Potato Salad!! Classic Country Style Recipe

[@stephenryder1995]

I've been making this style potato salad for 60 years. This is the single most authentic American potato salad recipe I've come across. I'm glad I found you, because I'm old now, and I tend to forget things I used to know quite well. Lately I realized I had forgotten parts of mom's recipe for potato salad which dated back to before WW II. I made this tonight and this is it! During the war we ate a lot of potatoes, because meat was scarce and very expensive. After all, we had 17 million men in uniform. Thank you. You made an old man very happy.

OMG. A man after my own heart! I have been watching potato salad video recipes just out of curiosity to see what others put in their potato salad. I was starting to think I was the only one who peeled and cubed my potatoes BEFORE boiling them. I also seem to be a rare person who uses fresh dill in the dressing.

[@Fotosynthesis858]

This is my favorite potato salad recipe on KZbin. Thanks for sharing

[@judyguttadore8387]

This is the most delicious potato salad! My mother died many years ago and this was like a flash back to how hers tasted. Thank you so much!

[@ourlifeinwashington4114]

Your potato salad is the best here on KZbin. The vinegar touch is AMAZING! Who would've thought and the dehydrated potatoes, seriously you should win an award. My entire family loves it. I also add some fresh chopped dill. Thank you, you're going into my fav recipe list.

Great authentic recipes and many them have a little twist which makes the dishes more interesting .

[@garyravenscroft7304]

This is my "go to" potato salad recipe. I don't add as much sugar or mayo, but I like the potato flake idea. I also like some red in my potato salad, so I add 1/2 of a red bell pepper that I chop up finely in my food processor. I also add some grated cheddar, and I mash some of the potatoes. Damn good salad!! I live by myself, and don't get to make it often enough.

[@SweetPea1964]

Gary Ravenscroft: If you live by yourself, you can make it as often as you like. Just halve, or quarter (or even less) the recipe amounts :)

[@shadowowen2575]

New game!! Every time you hear potato you take a shot!! Thanks for the potato salad needed it for this game.

[@annelm217]

I made this yesterday and it turned out great. I only used 1 cup mayo and doubled the mustard, used green onions and sadly had no potato flakes. It was a win!

[@gloriaarevalo9163]

It took me hours te searching potatoes recipes, and bingo! I got the correct one! Thank you!

[@1bongocero]

In addition to the celery I had added diced green and red bell pepper to give it a little hint of natural vegetable sweetness and added crunch to the celery in the recipe along with garnishing at the end with the green ends of scallions that I had in the vegetable crisper of my refrigerator. Excellent taste profile and well balanced. Thank you for sharing your recipe, a definite keeper!

[@Teri313-]

I wrote this out for myself, so I figured I'd share and save you all the time. 3 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite size cubes 2 large eggs in shell, washed 1½ cups mayonnaise ¼ cup white sugar 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish 2 tsp distilled white vinegar 2 tsp prepared yellow mustard 1½ tsp salt ½ small yellow onion, diced 2 ribs celery, diced 2 tbsp instant mashed potato flakes Place potatoes and eggs in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle boil. Cook potatoes and eggs for about 10 minutes or just until potato falls apart when pierced with a fork. Remove eggs and place in a bowl of very cold water. Drain potatoes and set aside until completely cooled. Peel the eggs, place in a large bowl, and coarsely break them up with a fork. Add the mayo, sugar, relish, vinegar, mustard, salt, onion, and celery and mix well to combine. Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl and gently fold into the dressing. Add the potato flakes and gently fold to combine. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

The potato flakes is a super tip. Thank you so much. Sugar makes everything pop in your recipe.

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

50hellkat2 I don’t use potato flakes. They just seem to sound dry. I cute some smaller potato cubes and they will be softer so I let those fall apart in the salad or mash them against the bowel as I stir it up… 💓

[@janicewojcik5291]

This recipe is a blessing and a chore LOL!! After many years of trying to get potato salad right, this video got me there. I have made a few minor changes based on the preferences of my family and friends, but this is the key to creating the (now super popular) potato salad that I make. The problem is that now I am the go-to person to make the potato salad!! The techniques and instruction were so helpful in correcting the issues I have had with other attempts at making potato salad. My modifications are minor--I make 5 lb at a time (because people want to take some home), so I scale up on the measurements. I like a salad with lots of egg, so I use 4 eggs instead of 2. I also swap out Dijon mustard for yellow and add chopped gherkins for an extra bite of flavor. I always make this a day ahead.

[@christinej1519]

Almost like mine except for the vinegar and potato flakes and I use a lot of eggs,, but since I need to bring this to a party soon, I'm gonna try the potato flakes. Thanks for the great video!

[@andreiamartinaandres7188]

I love potato salad

[@cajdel]

Lovely. When I boil eggs, I use the back of a spoon and hit the eggs 3-4 times just before they are finished cooking. In this way the water is allowed to sleep through the shell making it easier to peel off after I have placed them in cool water to cool off till manageable.

[@lancelotdufrane]

Hey. Thanks for that! Makes sense!

[@MrKmoconne]

I've made my mother's version of potato salad many times. She's no longer with us to offer advice, so I turn to You Tube to learn. I like your process and advice on dicing and cooking the potatoes. It's very helpful. I do use Miracle Whip because it has the sugar and vinegar components already in it and that is what my mother used. Gotta go for that nostalgic taste. Her recipe did not use eggs or mustard, but I've thought of trying mustard powder. In addition to salt, she added black pepper and did use sweet relish.
