My Own Potato Salad recipe
· about 2qrt. WATER
· 6 russet POTATOES, peeled, cut into large bite-size pieces ~ small=3, medium=5, big=6 ... people
· 2-3 TBSP. BUTTER (we use "Brummel & Brown")
· 1/8C. or 2 TBSP. Fat Free Sour CREAM
· Sprinkling of SALT & PEPPER
· 1c. MAYO. (we use 1/3c. Lite & 2/3c. Reg., mixed)
· ½ TBSP. MUSTARD
· 1/8C. or 2TBSP. white/reg. VINEGAR
Fill Dutch Oven or LARGE* boiler with WATER & bring to a vigorous boil on stove over "High" heat.
Meanwhile mix MAYO., MUSTARD, VINEGAR, SALT & PEPPER (last 5 ingredients) to use later as SAUCE.
When WATER is boiling vigorously, carefully add POTATOES, time 10min. on Hi, & have collander right ready to drain.
Promptly drain POTATOES at beep of timer.
Next carefully disperse BUTTER & CREAM on sides & bottom of hot dish potatoes cooked in & bring SAUCE near at hand.
Add potatoes back & gently stir with teflon fork. , then gently stir (so don’t get mashed potatoes).
When mixed well with BUTTER & CREAM, mix in ½ of SAUCE.
Evaluate if looks saucy enough. Add SAUCE as desired.
(More SAUCE is often needed later for any leftovers.)
*one that will hold at least 2½qrt.(80oz.), as POTATOES will cause WATER to rise.
OPTIONAL: Add crumbled cooked crisp Bacon to top.
