If it’s possible for a potato salad to be perfect, I believe this is the one
Creamy dressing with tender potatoes topped with just the right amount of hard-cooked eggs slices… YUM!
My Mom, Mary, always made this for parties and BBQs all through the Summer months
It’s such a classic side, we just can’t get enough!
Start by washing 3 pounds of white potatoes. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water and a healthy sprinkle of kosher salt
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. You may need to remove the smaller ones sooner, so they don’t overcook
Cool slightly and peel, peel, peel
Slice the peeled potatoes about 1/4 inch thick and set aside while we make the dressing
Measure 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 2 teaspoons of The Spice Apothecary’s Everyday Seasoning and 1/2 cup of finely diced onion
Add the dressing ingredients to a large bowl and mix well
Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing giving care to not break up the potato slices.
Make sure each slice is covered
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Remove from fridge and gently mix again
Taste and re-season if necessary and top with sliced hard-cooked eggs and a sprinkle of paprika
