How to make a LOT of potato salad
I have made potato salad a lot of different ways and enjoy German potato salad with bacon and sugar ....but this is a very simple cold potato salad with just potatoes, boiled eggs, sweet vidalia onions and Hellmans Mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
Our grandson is graduating and I have been asked to bring the potato salad. This is enough to fill a large punch bowl and the biggest Tupperware bowl. 15 pounds of potatoes. (a bag and a half) boiled and cut up As many boiled eggs as potatoes. ..about three dozen, chopped One large and two largish Vidalia onions, chopped. Almost two large, but not huge, jars of Hellmanns. salt and pepper. Mix together. Chill overnight. This is so much that you need to mix it in your biggest pot or a roasting pan and it will tire you out just to mix it. It is about 20 pounds of salad! This is simple and I have not added pickle or celery and I am always shocked at the way it disappears. Now I encourage you to give us all your favorite recipe for potato salad. In regular amounts. This was on my mind and I thought I would share these ingredients for a big group. [/B] |
Potato salad
Just adjust this recipe to the amount you need. Boiled, peeled and chunked Potatos 1/2 cp chicken stock 2tbl cider vinegar Mix together above so potatos are coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add and mix whatever you like. I add about 1/2 cup of each: chopped onions, pickles,boiled eggs, celery, and crumbled bacon. Do not use bacos, it changes the taste. Add Hellmans mayo to cover. Refrigerate. |
Gracie, great recepie. I do that same recepie with only two changes. I also add about 2 tablespoons on prepared mustard and a few good shakes of celery salt. See if you and the family care for those additions.

Thanks Gracie, you make me hungry. I remember my dad always said to add the mayo when the potatoes are hot so they will absorb the dressing.
