MOMMA PAT'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes to a large pot, add enough cold water to fully cover and season the water liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cool water and place in a large bowl to cool for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to fully cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath until cool enough to handle, about 3 minutes. Peel the eggs, roughly chop, transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Add the eggs to the potatoes.
• Add the pepper, onion and celery to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the eggs and set aside.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish and sugar in a small bowl. Add the Miss Brown's House Seasoning and whisk to combine. Add the seasoned mayonnaise to the potatoes and gently toss with a wooden spoon until coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Transfer to a large serving bowl if desired. Sprinkle with the parsley and paprika. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge overnight.
• Stir everything together in a small bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

MOM'S EASY POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 30-40 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato, but not too soft that they just fall apart. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool (I usually put the potatoes in the fridge to cool).
• Once your potatoes are cool, peel and dice. Place diced potatoes, diced celery, and pickles in a large bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl (sometimes I will set aside 1 egg and slice it to put on top of the potato salad for presentation - totally not necessary, it's just what my mom always did).
• In a separate small bowl, mix your mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potato mixture in the big bowl and gently fold together. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with Salad Supreme seasoning. As mentioned before, you can also save 1 hard boiled egg to slice and add it to the top.
