POTATO SALAD FOR A CROWD
Potato salad is wonderful anytime. In the summer we always have potato salad at picnics. We often have it on Easter and holidays, too. This is our favorite recipe.
This recipe can be cut in half, doubled or just made the way it is printed here. The salad will keep several days in the fridge and is even better each day. My mother made this same potato salad as long as I can remember. If you take this salad to a gathering, you won’t bring any back.
Ingredients for Potato Salad for a Crowd
10 medium to large potatoes
10 eggs
1 (4 oz.) jar of diced pimientos, drained
1 medium to large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon whole celery seeds
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup mayonnaise (more or less to taste)
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Boil potatoes with skins on, cool, peel, and cut into chunks. Boil eggs about five minutes, drain, cover with cold water. I usually put about a tablespoon of salt in my water that I boil the eggs in to make them peel better. Peel the boiled eggs, chop, and add to potatoes in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well and chill in refrigerator. This makes about a 1 1/2 gallons of potato salad. Will keep for several days. Enjoy!
