Terri's Potato Salad, Just In time for the Holiday Weekend

Ok do you have a recipe that doesn't take any exact measurements? You know the recipe you get from someone that has a little of this and a little of that. Well this recipe for Potato Salad is one of those recipes. Trust me this is the best potato salad I have tasted, It is even better than my mothers recipe. Shhhh I wont tell if you don't. About 4 years ago we went on vacation to San Antonio, Texas. We were taking the kids to Sea World for a couple days. We stopped in to see some old friends that had moved from Dallas that we had not see for a long while. I was pregnant with Mackenzie when Terri moved to San Antonio and now Mackenzie was in Kindergarten, boy how time flies.

We had a great traditional Texas Feast of Brisket, Baked Beans, Potato Salad and Strawberry Pretzel Salad. All of it was so good, but the potato salad stood out so well I had to get the recipe. After we returned home Terri emailed me the recipe and it had a little of this and a little of that. I asked about measurements and she said there are none. I have made this recipe numerous times and Terri is right it turns out perfect every time. Some people mash there potatoes up, but i like a chunky potato salad. This is a perfect addition to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend meal.


These are the ingredients you will need:
Potatoes, 1-2 boiled eggs, chopped onion, salt and pepper, miracle whip, mustard, sweet relish and white vinegar.


Boil potatoes whole and let cool. When cool enough to handle peel off the skin and chop into bite size pieces. Add chopped onion, salt, pepper


and sweet Relish. (I have never measured anything)

After mixing the above

add one capful of vinegar over the potato mixture, you can add 1-2 chopped hard boiled eggs, that is optional but it is so good.

For dressing us 2 parts Miracle Whip and 1 part Mustard, taste until you have the right combination.


add to the potato mixture and gently mix to combine. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.


Yummy

Terri's Potato Salad

Boil potatoes whole and let cool about 6-8 potatoes. When cool enough to handle peel off the skin and chop into bite size pieces. Add chopped onion, salt, pepper and sweet Relish. (I have never measured anything) After mixing the above add 1 capful of white vinegar over the mixture. You can add 1 or 2 cut up boiled eggs but that’s optional. For dressing us 2 parts Miracle Whip and 1 part Mustard, taste until you have the right combination. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It always turns out good.

*I boil the potatoes whole with the skin still on. I do this so the potatoes do not absorb a lot of water, which can happen if you peel and cut up the potatoes before boiling. This can make the potatoes mushy.
