Non Traditional Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Boil, peel and cube 2 pounds russet potatoes; toss with 2 tablespoons cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix 2 cups mayonnaise, 2 chopped scallions, 1 chopped celery stalk, 1 tablespoon each dijon mustard and vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and salt. Toss with the potatoes.

Steps:

• Boil Whole potatoes until a fork will easily slide in and back out with no resistance at all.
• Lay out on counter for an hour or so to cool nicely.
• Peel, and cube.
• I usually do this with no recipe, so I have estimated the amounts as closely as possible.
• While potatoes are cooking, mix together, the Miracle Whip, Vinegar, Sugar, and Salt, and refrigerate.
• In a large bowl, mix together, the onion, celery, eggs, sweet pickles, and potatoes.
• Add miracle whip mixture a little at a time, until it seems the right consistency for potato salad.
• You may have some mix left over, but don't throw it out.
• After refrigerating a while, the potatoes will absorb a lot of the mixture, and you may need to add more.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
• It may taste salty until after it's refrigerated a while.
• If you like more salt, or sour (vinegar), you may adjust recipe accordingly.
• Just add a little at a time to the finished product, of vinegar, or salt, and mix, until it tastes right to you.
• The same applies if you like it sweeter.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring to ensure even cooking, until a thin-bladed paring knife or a metal skewer inserted into a potato can be removed with no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Cool slightly.
• Cut warm potatoes into 3/4-inch dice with a serrated knife. Layer them in a bowl, seasoning with vinegar, salt and pepper as you go. Cut eggs, celery and pickle in 1/4-inch dice and thinly slice scallions. Add to potatoes, along with parsley. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard until everything is combined. Chill, covered, before serving.

Steps:

• Wash, peel and boil potatoes in salted water (about 1 tablespoon or less) until very tender. Place grated cheese in a big bowl. Add potatoes and toss. Let cool.
• Microwave the bacon until tender. Drain grease into a bowl and reserve. Crumble the bacon.
• Saute the onions in bacon grease until tender. Save the bacon grease.
• In a food processor process cream cheese, mayo, mustard, milk and bacon drippings.
• In the large bowl containing the potato/cheese mixture, combine the eggs, onion and bacon. Add the mayo mixture to potato mixture and toss.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.
