My Mom (she cracks me up. Yes, Mom, I know who you are!) has made this recipe so many times that it’s ingrained in her memory, but last week I had her write it down ingredient by yummy ingredient, step by simple step. I’ve never actually made this classic potato salad myself – afterall, Mom always seems to make it best – and was so surprised by the recipe. Not nearly as much mayo as I thought, and a secret marinating step that gives the salad flavor from the inside out. You’ll see!
Ingredients:
2-1/2lbs medium-sized potatoes (about 4-5 potatoes – make sure all are same size)
4 large eggs
1/2 – 3/4 cup light mayonnaise
dash salt
For the dressing:
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
scant 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of paprika
