Classic Southern Potato Salad

 

• Ingredients : 
• 
  
• 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cubed (About 7-8 medium size potatoes)
• ▢2 teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢4 hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
• ▢½ cup hamburger dill pickles chopped
• ▢2 tablespoon hamburger dill pickle juice
• ▢½ cup Vidalia or sweet yellow onion finely minced or grated
• ▢
  1 cup mayonnaise preferably Dukes or Hellman's
• ▢¼ cup yellow mustard
• ▢½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ▢¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ▢dash paprika for garnish

Instructions : 

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. When the water starts to boil add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and the potato cubes and cook for approximately 10 minutes. The potatoes are cooked when you can take a piece of potato and mash with a fork with little resistance. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Pour the drained and cooked potatoes back in the pan and use a potato masher to mash them 3-4 times. This step makes your potato salad even creamier and ensures that the potatoes soak up more of the mayonnaise mixture.
• While the potatoes are cooking, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, onion, pickles, pickle juice, hard-boiled eggs, and salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Add the cooked potatoes and fold in.
• Garnish with a dash of paprika.
• Refrigerate and serve chilled. Enjoy!
