A great make-ahead recipe for summer cookouts. Sure to be a crowd favorite. This potato salad goes great with everything from burgers and hot dogs to BBQ pulled pork and fried chicken.
Best Type of Potatoes to Use?
I use russet potatoes for this recipe. They work well because they have a starchy, mealy texture and they break down well and get wonderfully coated. Yukon Gold potatoes would be my second choice.
Ingredients:
Russet potatoes: 3 pounds (medium)
Mayonnaise: 1 cup
Yellow mustard: 1/4 cup
Apple cider vinegar: 2 teaspoons
Sugar: 2 teaspoons
Onion powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Sweet pickle relish: 1/4 cup
Celery: 1 stalk, chopped
Sweet onion: 1/2, chopped
Hard boiled eggs: 4 (3 chopped and 1 sliced)
Paprika
