Posted: Tue Oct 08, 2013 4:49 pm
My sister had a party and got BBQ from Going's Humble location (good Q) and then we all made the sides. One of my nieces brought the potato salad & I loved it so much I asked for the recipe. What I think makes it so good for my taste is it has no mayonnaise; uses sour cream instead, which gives it a nice tanginess. She called it Amish Potato Salad and said she got the recipe from a cooking show. It's very good potato salad.
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold preferred) peeled and chopped into 3/4" cubes
- 1 T salt
- 1/3 Cup Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 T Yellow Mustard
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Celery Seed
- 4 hard-boiled Eggs
- 3/4 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 rib Celery, finely diced
Directions:
Bring potatoes to a boil w salt and water to cover by 1/2" and boil for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
Combine vinegar and sugar in a glass bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir to completely dissolve the sugar and pour into a food processor. Add mustard, salt, celery seed and 1 cooked egg yolk (reserve the boiled egg white) and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
Drizzle 2 T of the dressing over the potatoes and toss until well coated and then cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
