Mom’s Easy Potato Salad
Ingredients:
8 potatoes, cooked and diced into bite size pieces
8 eggs, hard boiled
3/4 cup dill or sweet pickles, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup mayo (I like to use Light Miracle Whip… yes I’m a Miracle Whip girl)
2 to 3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
Salad supreme seasoning, optional to sprinkle on top
Directions:
Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 40 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool. In the other pot boil your eggs for 15 minutes. When they are done, drain and rinse them under cold water. Put in fridge to cool.
Once done cooling, put your potatoes, diced celery, and pickles in a big bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl.
Sauce:
In a separate bowl mix your mayo, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potatoes in the big bowl and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with salad supreme. Can also save 1 hardboiled egg to slice and add it to the top.















Wow,that’s new, really good idea with the eggs and potato mix! We must try that in the weekend. Thanks again for lovely inspiration and sharing and say Thanks to your mum also! Have a happy Day!
I throw the eggs into the potatoes and boil them both at the same time. Have you ever tried that method?
No! I’ve always wanted to try it but I wasn’t sure if it would work! I’m going to try it next time!!!

This is how I make potato salad, it is how my mom made it!
This looks good. I was wondering if you peel the potatoes or leave the skins on them?
I’ve done both but my favorite is peeled!
Thanks for responding. I’ll try this one soon!
Very nice, please link it up with me today at Wow Us Wednesday.
Sounds tasty!
I just made this! I only had 4 eggs in the fridge (tomorrow’s grocery day…) but it is still great! I also added a tad more pickle juice after tasting, instead of adding just salt. Super yummy! =) I left the skins on the potatoes for those extra vitamins too!
Yum! I could go for some right now! W/ Lemonade:)
Yum! I’ve been looking for a potato salad recipe.
This is similar to my Mom’s. I have raised my kids on this. Most people who see or eat my Mom’s potato salad say something like this…”hhhmmm, there is mustard in this POTATO salad”! It cracks me up every time. It tickles me that you make your Mom’s potato salad and I make my Mom’s and that they both use(d) MUSTARD in their POTATO salad.
This looks yummy!!I can’t wait to try it. What kind of potatoes do you use?
Made this last night and it was so delicious! It was actually the first time I’ve ever made potato salad. I don’t know why it took 30 years
