Instructions
- Preparing potato salad becomes easier when you use new potatoes. Rinse the potatoes first and place them in a pan. Add cold water to the pan, making sure that the water level is about 1 inch above the potatoes. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.Next, bring the water to a boil and allow the potatoes to cook until you can easily insert a fork into them. This usually takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Once you get the desired texture, drain the hot water from the potatoes immediately. To stop the potatoes from cooking further, you should either place them in the refrigerator or run cold water over them.
- While the potatoes are cooking, you can prepare boiled eggs with the following tip: Firstly, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Then, bring them to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, set a timer for 7 and ½ minutes and boil the eggs for that amount of time. This will give you perfectly boiled eggs. Finally, pour off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to stop them from cooking further.
- Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
- Chop the pickles, celery, and onions. Add them to the potatoes.
- Mix together Light Mayonnaise, Light sour cream, French's mustard, and pickle juice.
- Stir the Mayonnaise/Sour Cream mixture into the potatoes.
- Taste to make sure it has enough salt. If it needs more, add a little salt at a time until it's just right.
- Slice hard-boiled eggs and place on top. This is an optional step.
- Sprinkle the top with paprika, or if you want it spicy, use cayenne pepper.
- Enjoy!!!
