Description

A delicious and creamy potato salad perfect for picnics and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 medium yellow onion (peeled and chopped (1 cup))
  • 3 stalks celery (ends removed and chopped)
  • 8 large hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 5 pounds Russet potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes using a colander. Transfer the potatoes back into the pot and allow them to cool slightly.
  3. In a large serving bowl, whisk together 2 cups mayonnaise, 3/4 cup pickle juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder until smooth.
  4. Add the potatoes, 1 medium yellow onion, 3 stalks celery, and 8 large hard-boiled eggs to the serving bowl. Gently toss to coat everything in the dressing.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the best flavor, or until ready to serve. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and enjoy!
