To be honest, I'm not really sure what it was that she felt made mine so much better, she just said that mine tasted better, and I guess she was on to something, because over the years it has become my most requested dish for pot lucks and parties. I've even catered a few meals for friends, and it always makes the list of requested dishes.
With the summer season coming up, I'm sure a lot of us will be grilling and potato salad is one of those dishes that always seems to be a good fit, whether you're cooking up burgers or chicken, it's the perfect side dish! So today I thought I'd pass along my take on this classic dish. I hope you'll enjoy it!
3 lbs yukon gold potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 to 1 cup Hellman's Mayonnaise
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
4-6 sweet pickles, diced small
1/2 small onion, chopped small
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Smoked paprika to preference
Serves 10-12
Wash, peel and chop you potatoes into cubes. Briefly rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Boil until tender. Drain with cool water then place in the refrigerator to cool. This helps them hold their shape and not become mashed potatoes.
Once cooled add mayo, mustard, sweet pickles and onions. Gently mix everything together until the potatoes are well coated and everything is combined. Add sugar, salt and pepper and stir gently again. Adjust seasoning as desired. To finish lightly dust the top with smoked paprika.
