* Exported from MasterCook * All-American Potato Salad Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Potatoes Salads Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 6 all-purpose potatoes -- large 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1 Tab. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt -- or to taste 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. celery seed 3 stalks celery -- diced 1 green pepper -- (medium size) seeded and diced 1 onion -- (small) finely chopped, or 6 scallions, chopped 1. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly; then boil them in their jackets until just tender. Do not overcook; the potatoes should pierce easily with a sharp knife but should not be too soft or mushy. 2. While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing: In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, vinegar; sugar, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Whisk until smooth and completely blended. 3. When the potatoes are done, drain and rinse them in cold water. Quickly peel off the skin. then cut the potatoes into small cubes. 4. Combine the potato cubes and dressing; mix gently but thoroughly. 5. Mix in the remaining chopped vegetables. Let the salad stand for an hour or two, then taste for salt and pepper. The salad can be served chilled or (as I prefer) at room temperature. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : The secret to a successful potato salad of any sort is to mix the dressing with the potato while they are still warm so that some of the dressing is absorbed. ============================================================ Date: Monday, 11-Nov-96 01:30 AM From: Edward Cahill \ Internet: (scahill) To: mc-recipe@listserv.sierra.com (Unlisted Name) \ Internet: (mc-recipe@listserv.sierra.com) Subject: DeLurk Day Recipe - Favorite Cakes *
