Mom's Danish Potato Salad

Recipe #20907 | 40 min | 30 min prep | add private note

By: Teresa M
Feb 28, 2002

A easy-to-make inexpensive potato salad. The homemade dressing for this is really good and I feel what makes it so good, and works equally well with macaroni salad. This is my mom's recipe, and her mom made it before her. I use about 6 hard-boiled eggs because I like my potato salad with more eggs. The prep and cook time is only a estimate, as I've never timed how long it takes to make this. If you use mayo instead of Miracle Whip I'd suggest starting with only 1 T. sugar and adding more to taste as mayo is sweeter than Miracle Whip. And of course please feel free to adapt this recipe ingredient-wise to your familie's preferences.

Making this for father's day along with smoked pulled pork, coleslaw and baked beans. I had a recipe that was very similar, but missing something. This is the ONE!! I will never go back to another plain mayo/mustard recipe again. I used 8 russetts boiled in jackets, then cooled, peeled and sliced. I added 2 T butter to the sauce (that was in my other recipe) which makes it richer. Used EVOO mayo and regular prepared mustard. Also added dash of cayenne and white pepper. I left out the relish, but used celery and onion chopped very fine and 5 eggs that I mashed the yolks and mixed in w/ sauce, then chopped the whites. Garnish with paprika and sliced egg. Decided to make a day ahead to let flavors blend. Fabulous!

    I used this recipe for my first attempt at making a home-made potato salad and I got just what I was looking for! I love the sweetness and the creaminess (it didn't get pastey!) of this recipe. It was also very easy to make. I added a couple extra tablespoons of sugar, just because I like it sweet and I left out the relish because I don't like relish. I cooked the potatoes in their skins and cooled them before peeling and my potatoes came out perfect! This salad got even better every day I ate it after I made it! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
