Two Sisters Potato Salad Recipes

EASY ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium-size pot filled with water, boil potatoes (with skins on) for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until a knife can slide through the potato. You don't want to overcook them.
• Drain in a colander and immediately run cold water over them for a few minutes to stop the cooking process. Set potatoes into a mixing bowl and place them into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or more to allow them to cool completely.
• Meantime, make the vinaigrette. In a small mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings. Season with fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
• When potatoes are completely cool, peel and slice potatoes in half horizontally, then slice again each half vertically into 1/2-inch to 3/4 -inch thick slices or cubes, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Add onions, olives, celery, capers, and vinaigrette. Toss gently until well combined. Potatoes tend to absorb the olive oil very quickly, so you will need to drizzle additional olive oil as needed. Same with the vinegar. Then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Chill at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Best served at room temperature or chilled. Just before you serve, toss the salad to combine the vinaigrette one last time. Then serve.

TWO-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. When cool crumble and set aside.
• Put the sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes in 2 separate saucepans. Cover the potatoes with water (by 2-inches), add 1/2 teaspoon salt to each pot, and bring the pots to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, and simmer the potatoes until they are just cooked through and tender. The sweet potatoes will cook in about 15 minutes, and the Yukon gold potatoes should be finished in about 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and allow them to cool.

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.

• Place cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse in cold water until cool; set aside.
• Cut the eggs in half, remove the yolks and place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Coarsely chop the egg whites and set aside.
• Mash the egg yolks with a fork and add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt and pepper and mix until combined.
• Fold in hardboiled eggs, cooked potatoes, diced celery, and green onions and mix until incorporated.

TWO SISTERS' POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place whole potatoes with skins on in large pot of cold water. Cook on high heat until a knike inserted into potato comes out easily. Drain water and set potatoes aside to cool. While potatoes are cooling hard boil eggs. Dice onion and saute in olive oil. Dice celery. Mix mayonnaise, milk, and mustard together until smooth and creamy. Add salt, pepper, onion, celery, sweet pickle relish, and olives. Mix well.
• When potatoes are just warm to the touch, quarter and place in large bowl. Peel and finely chop eggs and add to potatoes. Add mayonnaise mixture and incorporate all ingredients. Refrigerate.
• I think this tastes better if it sets overnight, but however you serve it , it is delicious!
