Old Fashioned Amish Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients
For The Salad
8 ounce potatoes (250 g)
1 hard-boiled egg (chopped)
2 tablespoons chopped celery ribs
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
1 tablespoons chopped sweet pickle relish
For The Dressing
¼ cup plain mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard sauce
1 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seeds

Instructions
Cook The Potatoes
Wash the potatoes and peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Note – You can choose to keep the skin-on.
Cut them into ½-inch cubes. Soak the potatoes in water until ready to use.
Heat 2-3 cups of water in a pot over medium heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, add the potato cubes and 1 tablespoon salt to the pot and stir well.
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Cook covered for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the water and run the cooked potatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
Tip – Do not over-boil the potatoes, they should be cooked yet intact. You can also cook some macaroni along with potatoes to make a cold Amish potato pasta salad.
Make The Dressing
Stir together all the dressing in a small mixing bowl.
Make The Salad
Add the cooked and cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Add chopped egg, celery ribs, red onions, and sweet pickle relish to the bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything well.
Note – Do not mix hot potatoes with the dressing, the dressing might split.
Check for seasonings and add more if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Notes
You can easily double or triple the recipe as per your requirements.
You can replace mayonnaise with miracle whip for a low-fat version. Miracle whip has half the fat content compared to mayonnaise. I personally prefer adding mayonnaise, as it gives a nice rich and creamy texture to the salad.
Mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream as well for a taste change.
You can also add 2 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter to the dressing to make it richer.
If apple cider vinegar is not available, you can replace it with regular white vinegar.
You can add some paprika, red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper to the dressing for a spicy kick. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder etc.
To make the salad more flavorful, add chopped herbs like oregano, parsley, dill, basil, etc.
Top the salad with crispy bacon or shredded cheddar cheese to make it even more indulgent.
