Potato Salad

[Kathy W.]

Okay folk's it's getting close to the Fourth of July! We need to start planning the fun foods to feed everyone. I made up this potato salad recipe when I first married. My mother-in-law told me for our first family reunion I was to bring potato salad. Well teaching myself to cook I boiled some potatoes and while they cooked I cut up some onion, pickles, and celery. When the potatoes were done I added mayo, and mustard and a little pickle juice and a splash of milk and the cut up veggies and I whipped up the mixture and scooped it into my grandmother's favorite bowl I still have. I top the salad with a dash of paprika. I hope you will try this and enjoy. Thank's Kathy W.

Thanks for posting your potato salad recipe Kathy. I make mine much the same way. I do add a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of processed horseradish though, to my mayo and milk mixture. I also like to add my mayo mixture to the potatoes after they cool.
I saw an interesting recipe that mixed a sour cream and mayo mixture to the potatoes while they were hot like you would for a German salad. Then scallions and bacon bits were mixed in. I was thinking that that salad would taste much like a baked potato.

Your idea is great. And to top it off, one bunch of scallions, including the green part, finely chopped.
