Ingredients for this Classic Potato Salad Recipe:
- 6 medium potatoes
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Salt to taste
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- ½ cup vinegar
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 6 large hard-cooked eggs, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Cook the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- Make the Dressing: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, beaten eggs, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the evaporated milk, vinegar, and mustard. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
- Combine: In a large bowl, toss the cooked potatoes, diced hard-cooked eggs, chopped onion, and celery. Pour the cooled dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine.
- Chill: Add the mayonnaise to the salad and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Garnish with additional chopped eggs or herbs, if desired, and enjoy!
