ANN PORTER'S OLD TIMEY POTATO SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
5 pounds Idaho potatoes, diced
6 boiled eggs, chopped
2 large onions, chopped
3/4 cup sweet pickles, chopped
3/4 pint Dukes Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt - to taste
2 teaspoons pepper - to taste
3 ozs. pimento
1 teaspoon white vinegar - to taste
Boil pealed and diced potatoes until done and still firm; start testing
the boiled potatoes after 12 minutes of boiling. Drain and let cool.
Add potatoes, eggs, sweet pickles, pimento, sugar, salt, pepper and Duke's
Mayonnaise and mix well. This is one of those recipes that you mix and taste
and then add what ever it needs for flavor. The above amounts of
seasonings will get you close though, however you will need to "tweak"
the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and vinegar to taste. I usually garnish
the top with a light "dusting" of Paprika for additional
color.Note: This potato salad is so good that it is steadily requested
when we have our holiday covered dish "get together." My
bride "Tweet" uses this recipe along with other members of the family.
If Dukes brand of mayonnaise is not available in your area, use a good
quality of mayonnaise, not the low-cal, watered down or salad dressing type.
Recipe from Ann Porter with comments by Mickey Porter February 18, 1999.
Above potato salad prepared, photographed, web published and consumed by
Bill aka Mickey Porter, my bride and our son William M, Porter, Jr who is
visiting with us from California via Norfolk, Virginia while on a Government
contract job (civilian) for the US Navy this weekend 09-06-08.
Note: The picture (pix) doesn't do the recipe justice but maybe will get
lucky next time!
My bride aka "Tweet" did a three lb. potato salad today (11-17-08 for two
different events and this was one half of what she made. Tasted
wonderful!
