Tasty Tater Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place drained, cooked and cubed potatoes in a large bowl.
• 2. Put drained tuna in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; stir well and set aside while you add other ingredients to the potatoes. Adding lemon juice helps to get rid of the fishy taste of the tuna.
• 3. Add the sweet relish, mustard, ranch and Italian dressings to potatoes while they are hot. Gently stir to coat the potatoes. Be careful, as they break up if handled roughly while hot.
• 4. Add the tuna and boiled eggs to the potato mixture. Stir in the chopped and minced veggies -onion, celery, carrot and red bell pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 5. Mix well. Can serve at room temperature or cold. It is even better the next day or two, as the flavors meld in the refrigerator.
• 6. Serve on a bed of lettuce with or without the optional garnishes. Enjoy!!
• 7. ***Optional Garnishes • A sprinkling of shredded Cheddar Cheese • Tri-color tortilla strips placed on top • A couple of Capelle Tomatoes, cut in half and placed on the side of the plate (since tomatoes aren't in season; these seem to have better, fresher taste than some you buy in the stores)

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, red onion, celery, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together the white vinegar, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the sugar until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
• While the potatoes are still hot, pour the vinegar mixture over and toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
• Add ⅓ of the egg mixture to the potatoes, tossing to coat completely. Let sit for another 5 minutes, then toss with another ⅓ of the egg mixture. Just before serving, toss with the remaining egg mixture.
• Enjoy!
