Southern Potato Salad Recipe- Add A Pinch

Delicious potato salad made with eggs and mayonnaise!

Southern Potato Salad

Russet, Yukon gold or red potatoes

sweet pickles (chopped, or sweet relish)

sugar

apple cider vinegar

garlic powder

green onions (finely diced)

celery (finely diced)

Kosher salt (to taste)

Black pepper (to taste)

Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Set over high heat and cook just until fork tender. Be careful to keep an eye on the potatoes because if they overcook they will get mushy.

When the potatoes are soft, drain them in a strainer and let them cool while you prepare the other salad ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped pickles, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.

Add the potatoes to the mixing bowl along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, green onions, and celery. Stir gently to combine.

Taste and season with the desired amount of kosher salt and black pepper.

This Classic Southern Potato Salad Recipe is great to take to a potluck. It&#039;s made with tender, steamed potatoes and a mayonnaise dressing.

celery

onion (green onions

sweet pickle relish

pimiento

salt and pepper

paprika

Prepare the potatoes by cutting them into bite-size pieces.

Put the cubed potatoes into a steamer basket over boiling water and cook until fork tender. 

While the potatoes cook, chop the celery and onions and add them to a large bowl along with the sweet pickle relish and pimiento. 

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.

Drain the potatoes very well. You can even return them to the hot pan for a few minutes to allow all the water to evaporate. You want them quite dry but still warm.

Combine the drained, cooked potatoes in a large bowl with the celery, scallions, pickle relish, and well-drained pimiento.

Add the mayonnaise mixture and gently toss until well combined.

Spoon into a serving dish and dust with paprika.

Serve warm or chilled. 

This creamy Southern potato salad is a classic staple recipe! Perfectly boiled potatoes mixed with an old fashioned Southern dressing and hard boiled eggs.

mayonnaise (such as Duke’s)

granulated sugar (plus more to taste)

white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

celery salt (plus more to taste)

black pepper

Accent seasoning

Sweet paprika (for garnish)

Place the potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and rinse under cold running water for about 30 seconds, then set aside to drain and cool completely.

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, pickles, pickle brine, mustard, sugar, vinegar, seasoned salt, celery salt, pepper, and Accent until combined.

Very neatly chop 4 of the hard-boiled eggs and add them to the bowl, followed by the potatoes.

Gently fold until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your taste buds, my friends.

Serve at room temperature or cover and refrigerate until needed.

When ready to serve, sprinkle paprika over the salad, then slice the remaining egg and fan it out over the top.

I recently made this potato salad for my annual 4th of July gathering. My goodness it was a hit. Everyone raved about the potato salad. It was creamy and had the perfect balance. I must say, this will be my go to potato salad recipe.

This potato salad was one of the best ones I’ve tried yet! It reminded me of how my grandmother used to makes hers. I love that you used lots of eggs. It balances perfectly with the potatoes! I made it for the 4th of July and it was a huge hit.   Everyone kept asking me for the recipe, so I just directed them to your website. Thanks so much for sharing!

Sink your fork into this tasty Southern Potato Salad recipe, where creamy mayo, tangy dill relish, and crunchy chopped pickles make a classic side dish even better than before!

Best Southern Potato Salad

sour cream

mustard

garlic pickle spears (chopped)

dill relish

parsley (garnish)

paprika (garnish)

First, boil the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with cold water by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Then, let them sit in the hot water. As soon as the water begins to boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Leave the eggs in the hot water for anywhere from 10-12 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. The 10-minute eggs will have vibrant, creamy yolks, while the 12-minute yolks will be paler and opaque, with a chalkier texture. Finally, move them to an ice bath. When the time is up, drain the eggs and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Leave them in the ice bath for at least 14 minutes before you peel the eggs. If making them ahead leave them in the shells and store them in the fridge. Don&#39;t skip the ice bath first! It’s crucial for stopping the cooking process and making the eggs easy to peel at a later time.

Boil potatoes: Peel and cut each potato in half or quarters (if really large) depending on the size). Place in a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer until fork tender all the way through, about 20 minutes. Drain well.

Mix Potato Salad: While potatoes are boiling, mix together mayo, sour cream, yellow mustard, garlic pickles, dill relish, and garlic powder in a large serving bowl. (Likewise, you can mix everything in the pot you cook the potatoes in once drained; I often do this to keep the serving dish nice and clean).

Pour drained hot or warm potatoes into the bowl on top of the mixture, add in chopped eggs, and mix until combined. Taste and add salt to taste as needed (adjust seasonings to preference) and mix until combined.

Top with sliced eggs and garnish with parsley flakes (or fresh parsley) and paprika.

Serve warm or cold. Our family loves this potato salad served warm and then enjoys leftovers cold.

We made this yesterday ( only a much smaller version) as there are only 2 of us… It was simply divine! Loved the mustard/ pickles and relish in the recipe! We did however added onions.. this too will be added to rotation

Such a classic! This recipe is the perfect combination of all the yummy flavors in potato salad. My husband isn’t a big fan of potato salad in general and he likes this one! We love this one as a side with hamburgers on the grill!

This Potato Salad recipe will have everyone begging for the recipe! Creamy, flavorful and easy to make - this will be the hit of the BBQ!

The Best Potato Salad

yukon gold potatoes ((about 6 medium))

Tablespoon white vinegar

Tablespoon yellow mustard

chicken broth

pepper

hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped

Peel and dice 2 pounds&#32;yukon gold potatoes into cubes. Place potatoes into a large pot of water.

Boil for about 20 minutes (or until fork tender.) Take care not to overcook your potatoes – you don’t want them overly mushy.

Mix together 1 ½ cups&#32;mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon&#32;white vinegar, 1 Tablespoon&#32;yellow mustard, 3-4 Tablespoons&#32;chicken broth, 1 teaspoon&#32;salt and ¼ teaspoon&#32;pepper in a large bowl.

Add cooked potatoes, 2 stalks&#32;celery, finely chopped, 1/2 cup&#32;chopped onion and stir gently.

Stir in 4&#32;hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors and chill.

This was the best potato salad I have ever had. I know everyone has their favorite way to make it. I used to think I had to have it with relish but I have to say, I thought this was much much better and will be the only way I eat it from now on

Best potato salad ever!!! Don't tell my Mee Maw - ha! Everyone ate ALL of this and I wish I would've made more!!! So many requests for the recipe because everyone's husbands couldn't stop raving over how good it was lol!

This really is the best! We had a potato salad contest at work. Everyone brought their Mom or their Grandma's family recipes but I took this one. My entry got a unanimous vote as the best potato salad. I know everyone swears by how their Mom or Grandma made it (because you love what you grew up with, right?) but this one is the one that got the blue ribbon - ha! A huge huge hit with everyone and I had to send them to your site for the recipe. Thank you SO much (it won me a $500 gift card!)
