Homemade Potato Salad Recipe

Potato Salad

When we sold our house and moved into the RV, FabGrandpa decided he did not want to have to mess with a barbecue grill–cleaning it, storing it, etc. But after 10 years of not cooking out, I bought a small table top grill last summer. And we realized again how much we love to cook out.

Yesterday, we grilled a whole chicken, split in  half and used some hickory chips to smoke it a bit. I cooked some fresh green beans and made some homemade potato salad to go with it. I used to only make potato salad on holidays, like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 4th of July. But several years ago, I decided why limit myself to having one of my favorite foods only on holidays? It is soooo easy to make. So now I make it every chance I get.

One thing you need to remember when making potato salad is that not all potatoes are equal. I use only red potatoes for my potato salad, because they are “creamier” than russett potatoes or brown potatoes. So, here is my recipe:

Home Made Potato Salad Recipe

10 medium red skin potatoes

1 handful of salt

5 boiled eggs

1 bunch of green onions

4 ounces sweet pickle relish

3 tablespoons brown spicy mustard

1/2 cup mayonaise

Wash the potatoes (do not peel them) and put them in a large pot, like a dutch oven. Fill the pot with water to an inch or two above the potatoes. Add the handful of salt to the water. Bring to a boil, cover the pot with a lid, reduce  heat to medium, and boil until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain the hot water off. Add ice cold water to cover the potatoes, and let them sit for about 10 minutes.

Pull the skins off the potatoes and cut out any bad spots.

Peel the potatoes after they are cooked

Dice the potatoes into a very large bowl.

Dice the potatoes

Peel and dice the eggs and add to the bowl with the potatoes.

dice the eggs too

Add chopped green onions,

Chop the green onions

and the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.

Yummy potato salad.

Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Delicious with barbecued chicken and wine

P.S. Make sure all of your ingredients are labeled “gluten free” to ensure the finished product is gluten free.

    Potato salad is one of the things I miss but since I can’t eat potatoes, or eggs or mustard which also leaves out the mayo, it’s no potato salad for me but your looks absolutely wonderful!

    Yummy yummy yummy! I can not imagine life without a grill! Since my amazing hunny got me a new one for Mother’s Day, I am not sure even 2 days has gone by that we havent cranked it up! I, too, love Postato Salad! I have never put green onions in mine – I bet that would give mine just the extra that it needs! I will try it next time! Looks awesome!
    (PS – plus EVERYTHING is better with a little Flip Flop wine! HA!)

    Yum! I love potato salad in the summer but I’ve never attempted to make it myself. I’ll have to give this a try!

    Karen, thanks for always having such wonderful posts. Last year I made my first “gluten free” potato salad to take to a gathering for friends whose daughter-in-law & grandkids have celiac. I actually did great making sure every ingredient was gluten free. I skipped the mustard because I couldn’t find the info I needed since it was a generic mustard. Everyone raved about what I did! Keep up the wonderful posts. Even though we’ve settled in Mesa in the resort we work kamped in, I love keeping up with your life.

    I don’t know if we could get through summer without a grill. I’ve never made potato salad, because my husband does it. Your recipes is very similar to his.

    I don’t usually make potato salad since my hubby doesn’t like it, but I’ll definitely give this one a try! Looks and sounds, delicious!
