  • Author: Chef Emy

Description

The Best Potato Salad recipe you’ve shared is a delicious twist on a classic favorite, blending creamy textures with the tangy flavors of dill pickle relish and mustard. Here’s how you can make it:


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 eggs
  • 10 red potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the Eggs:

    • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes. Remove, cool, peel, and chop.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Clean the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and let them cook until they are tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  3. Mix the Dressing:

    • In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, dill pickle relish, yellow mustard, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Combine Ingredients:

    • Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Add the chopped eggs. Gently fold everything together, ensuring the potatoes and eggs are well coated with the dressing.
  5. Chill:

    • Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill thoroughly.
  6. Serve:

    • Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve the potato salad chilled as a delicious side dish for barbecues, picnics, or any family gathering.

Notes

Tips:

  • Enhancing Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
  • Adding Crunch: If you like a bit of crunch in your potato salad, consider adding finely chopped celery or onions.
  • Garnish: For a visually appealing presentation, sprinkle some chopped fresh dill or parsley on top before serving.

This Best Potato Salad recipe is sure to be a hit at any event, offering a creamy, tangy, and utterly satisfying side dish that complements a wide range of main courses. Enjoy crafting this delightful salad!
