The Ultimate Classic Potato Salad Recipe: A Family Favorite

December 13, 2024 by Emily
# The Ultimate Classic Potato Salad Recipe: A Family Favorite There's something irresistibly comforting about a perfectly made potato salad. This classic American potato salad recipe, featuring creamy Yukon Gold potatoes and a rich, tangy dressing, has been perfected over generations of summer gatherings and family picnics. Whether you're planning a backyard barbecue or need a reliable side dish for your next potluck, this recipe delivers consistent, crowd-pleasing results. ## Why This Potato Salad Recipe Works This recipe strikes the perfect balance between creamy and tangy, with tender potatoes, crunchy vegetables, and a delicately seasoned dressing. The combination of sweet pickle relish and fresh dill provides a sophisticated flavor profile that elevates this potato salad above standard versions. ## Ingredients For the Salad: - 2.3 kg (5 pounds) Yukon Gold or Klondike Goldust potatoes - 4-5 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped - 3 celery stalks (about 180g), finely diced - 1 medium sweet onion (about 120g/½ cup), finely diced - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus extra for garnish For the Dressing: - 480ml (2 cups) mayonnaise - 240ml (1 cup) sweet pickle relish with juice - 30ml (2 tablespoons) yellow mustard, or 1 tablespoon each yellow and Dijon - 15ml (1 tablespoon) apple cider vinegar - 15ml (1 tablespoon) celery seeds - 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) paprika, plus extra for garnish - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste ## Instructions 1. Prepare the Potatoes: - Quarter the potatoes - Place in a large pot and cover with cold water (1 inch above potatoes) - Bring to a boil over high heat - Add 1 tablespoon salt - Cook for 13-15 minutes until fork-tender 2. Make the Dressing: - In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, celery seeds, and paprika - Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste - Stir until well combined 3. Assemble the Salad: - Drain potatoes completely - Remove loose peels and cut into ½-inch chunks - Place warm potatoes in a large bowl - Gently fold in the dressing - Add chopped eggs, celery, onions, and dill - Season to taste - Garnish with additional dill and paprika 4. Chill: - Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving - Best if made 24 hours in advance ## Pro Tips for Perfect Potato Salad 1. Start with Cold Water: Always begin cooking potatoes in cold water to ensure even cooking. 2. Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal because they maintain their shape while becoming creamy when cooked. 3. Don't Overcook: Test frequently with a fork – potatoes should be tender but not mushy. 4. Season Warm Potatoes: Add the dressing while potatoes are still warm; they'll absorb flavors better. ## Variations and Substitutions - Lighter Version: Use half Greek yogurt and half mayonnaise - Herb Variations: Add fresh parsley, chives, or tarragon - Mustard Lovers: Increase mustard quantity or use whole-grain mustard - Add-ins: Crumbled bacon, chopped pickles, or diced red bell peppers ## Storage and Make-Ahead Tips - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week - Make up to 24 hours in advance for best flavor - Do not freeze; mayonnaise-based salads don't thaw well - If making ahead, reserve some dressing to refresh before serving ## Nutritional Information (per serving) - Serving Size: 1 cup - Calories: 285 - Total Fat: 18g - Saturated Fat: 3g - Cholesterol: 45mg - Sodium: 390mg - Total Carbohydrates: 28g - Dietary Fiber: 3g - Protein: 5g ## Time Requirements - Prep Time: 30 minutes - Cook Time: 15 minutes - Chill Time: 4 hours minimum - Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes - Servings: 12-15 ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Can I make this potato salad without eggs?** A: Yes, simply omit the eggs. The salad will still be delicious, though slightly less creamy. **Q: Why did my potatoes fall apart?** A: This usually happens from overcooking. Check potatoes frequently and remove from heat as soon as fork-tender. **Q: Can I use different potatoes?** A: While Yukon Gold are ideal, you can use red potatoes or russets. Each variety will give a slightly different texture. **Q: How do I prevent my potato salad from becoming too dry?** A: Reserve some dressing to add just before serving, as potatoes continue to absorb moisture while chilling.
