I am lighting up the pit this weekend and want to make some potato salad
to
go with the BBQ. I have never made potato salad that was very/any good.
Does anyone have some tips that may help or a recipe that they are proud
of
that is not German style? I looked at google and searched the archives of
this group and the BBQ group. There are some really wild recipes, one
even
had beans in it..lol Thanks for any tips, tricks or secret ingredients.
Cut the beans though. g I have Yukon gold potatoes.

My mother made it this way, my aunt and I have been making this way for many
years now. You don't have to use red potatoes, but I do because it is
easier. Adding the sugar is something new I did this year.
Potato Salad
I use the red potatoes and leave the skins on; not necessary to peel.
I boil the halved potatoes. When drained and slightly cooled, I then pour
some oil over the potatoes. I put them in the fridge overnight.
The next day I cut the cold potatoes into small cubes. I add a chopped
onion to the potatoes. I add very little cider vinegar possibly 1/8 cup;
salt and pepper to taste and mayo.
This recipe is very good and simple to make. I never put mustard in my
potato salad, because I don't like a mustard flavor in my salad. This year I
did add approx. 2 tablespoons of sugar. You can decorate the top of the
salad with sliced hard boiled eggs and some parsley.
If you think the salad needs more zing, add a tad more vinegar and maybe
some salt.
