The ingredients needed to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
- Take 4-6 Med to Large Russet potatoes or 8-10 Red potatoes (Using russets in the pictures)
- You need 4 Large Eggs (or more if you like, my family does, so I use 6, at least)
- Take 1 Med Sweet onion or 1 Bundle Green Onions (Optional) Using sweet onion for these pics
- Get 1 1⁄2 c. Mayonnaise (Maybe a little more or less to taste)
- Get 1⁄3 c. Sweet Relish
- Prepare 2 tbsp. (of each) Spicy, Honey Dijon, and Reg. Mustard
- Get 2 tbsp. Creole Seasoning (More or Less depending on how you like your spice level!! You can buy at the grocery store but I also have a homemade recipe for it as well, on my page)
- You need 1⁄4 c. Bacon Bits or 2-3 slices of bacon, fried and broken up
- Get 2-3 Roasted Garlic Cloves minced and chopped up (Easy, EASY recipe also available for Roasted Garlic on my page) or Couple tbsp Minced garlic, Garlic Salt or Powder will work too
- Provide To Taste Salt and Pepper
Steps to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
- Get the potatoes in heavily salted water, begin to slowly boil, to be able to add eggs. Add eggs when boiling starts. Cover and let boil for another 10 - 15 min.
- While the boiling is going on, prepare the onions and precooked garlic (if that's what your using, this is the garlic in the pic) Chop or dice both very finely.
- This is the chopped onion.
- Once the boiling is finished. Drain the water off of the potatoes and eggs. Cool down easiest way possible…. for me I drain the hot water off and add cold water, then refrigerate while getting other ingredients together. If I'm in a hurry I do an ice bath, pull off the heat, drain, then add ice and cold, COLD water to it. Let it sit for a few min then begin the peeling process. This way the skins of the potatoes will peel straight off with your fingers, nothing else needed.
- Once potatoes are peeled, dice LARGELY!! Peel eggs and dice LARGELY, as well. When you mix everything it will come together great, so go BIGGER on cutting up the POTATOES N EGGS!! That's kinda the great thing about this recipe your cuts don't have to be perfect!! Go ahead and add garlic and seasoning (salt, pepper, creole, ect.) and stir it up!!
- Last step!! Mix it all together!!! Add the mustard, mayo, relish!! The longer you can let it sit, and marinate, it makes it better. I usually make mine the night before and that's the way my family likes it!!
