Momma Pat’s Potato Salad
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 50 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

3 pounds Russet potatoes (about 3 large potatoes), peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
Kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped 
1/2 yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 ribs celery, roughly chopped 
1 cup mayonnaise 
1 tablespoon yellow mustard 
1 tablespoon sweet relish or sweet salad cubes 
2 teaspoons granulated sugar, plus more as needed 
1 tablespoon Miss Brown’s House Seasoning, plus more as needed, recipe follows
2 teaspoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Pinch sweet paprika, for garnish

Miss Brown’s House Seasoning:

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika 
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

Directions

Put the potatoes to a large pot, add enough cold water to fully cover and season the water liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cool water and place in a large bowl to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to fully cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath until cool enough to handle, about 3 minutes. Peel the eggs, roughly chop, transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Add the eggs to the potatoes.

Add the pepper, onion and celery to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the eggs and set aside.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish and sugar in a small bowl. Add the Miss Brown’s House Seasoning and whisk to combine. Add the seasoned mayonnaise to the potatoes and gently toss with a wooden spoon until coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Transfer to a large serving bowl if desired. Sprinkle with the parsley and paprika. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge overnight.

Miss Brown’s House Seasoning:

Stir everything together in a small bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

Love love love Kardea's videos. Down to earth with no annoying sound track. And her recipes are wonderfully simple & yummy. The world needs this slower pace. Welcome to the South, Hon!

[josephrocha]

There is just something about this woman and her approach to cooking. Very comforting. The recipes are great too!

[laurawestenra]

This is so relaxing. I live that Kardea's videos are always chill with no hyper music or fake storyline. She's a great teacher.

[maryallore]

Kardea is the absolute perfect teacher for any beginner cook. So patient and knowledgeable.

[Jen-Chapin]

For my grandmas potato salad, we always boil the potatoes whole in the skins. After cool, we cut them into cubes. This helps them not get watery 😃

[noee_gee]

Kardea please make more relaxing cooking videos like these again!!! I miss feeling like I’m in the kitchen with you 😭😭😭

[beanie]

One of the most beautiful food network chefs. I sure would love to cook with her and be her neighbor sitting around talking about how nice it was to discover potato peelers so we could ditch the peering knives of our grandmothers, bless their hearts.

[shviewjames]

I feel like I’m sitting right in this beautiful queen’s kitchen. I feel at home. Thank you Ms. Kardea!

[truelife]

My Mama boils the eggs in the pot with the potatoes at the same time. And she chops them like your Mom does. I take the shells off under water in a bowl.

[raelenekelly]

I liked the slower format. Very relaxing. Looks good too!

[tasham]

I really like watching her. Just down to earth, soul food spirit. I haven't eaten meat in 25 years yet I still like watching her. She's alot younger than me but she has an old soul.

[nancychartrand]

Update, ,,,made your mom's potato salad, , it was a hit, ,whenever I make potato salad from now on it will be this one, ,,thankyou Kardea

[briannaclark]

My Mom and Grandma would cut up some extra eggs lengthwise and decorate the top of the potato salad. Yum

[KennethFord-yc]

Yes ! Very comforting! You can feel her tight hug !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[karenwinnett]

Reminds me of my mom's potato salad! I love the addition of the green pepper. My mom garnished the top with an extra sliched egg and then sprinkled on the paprika for an added touch. Fond memories 😊

[johnhollowhorn]

I love watching Kardea cook - she has passion and love for what she does and it shows.

[jjolly]

Thank you for also teaching in your videos

[stephaniecoleman]

Karder Brown you do an excellent job in the kitchen, Thanks a million from Denver

[adarnoult]

My daughter-in-law taught me to slip a small spoon under the egg shell from the "bubble" end and use the spoon to separate the egg from the membrane and shell. So much easier!

[jwfzsqw]

What a great show I watched you on TV and I’m just reminiscing because I have to make your Family potato salad today. It was awesome to see your mom voice she beautiful too ❤
