Mike's Old Fashion Potato Egg Salad
- 5 lb Bag Potatoes washed - unpeeled
- 25 Boiled Eggs yep 25 - use older eggs - they peel easier
- 2 can Black Olives use only the firm ones - discard mushy ones
- 3 large White Onions
- 6 large Clausen Dill Pickles no substitutions - these are the most delicious & crisp you'll find
- 3/4 cup Whole Milk add slowly until desired consistency
- 1 jar Mayonnaise use 2/3 to 3/4 jar
- 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Celery Seed
- 1 tbsp White Sugar or more - add slowly to desired tastes
- 3 Celery Stalks with leaves/tops
- 1 tsp White Vinegar to temper sweetness if needed
- Bring older eggs to a boil in a large pot.
- Turn off heat.
- Once water has boiled - cover eggs and let them sit in that hot water for 18 minutes exactly undisturbed.
- Drain water and run under cold water immediately until eggs and pot have completely cooled off.
- This method will make perfect boiled eggs everytime with little discoloration.
- And, by using older eggs, they'll be very easy to peel.
- Wash potatoes well.
- Do not peel.
- Then boil potatoes until you can easily run a knife through the largest potato.
- Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
- Whip milk, mayo and spices in a very large bowl.
- You'll want your texture thick enough to coat and stick but, thin enough to mix easily.
- Peel eggs and quarter.
- Chop vegetables.
- Chop your warm potatoes into bite sized 1" pieces.
- Place potatoes into your chilled mayo mixture.
- Gently fold them in until they're fully coated.
- Your warm spuds will break up easily!
- It's important that your potatoes be warm upon mixing.
- They'll immediately begin to absorb your mayo/milk/spice mixture.
- Gently incorporate your eggs and vegetables in with your potatoes.
- Again, fold in gently until everything is completely coated.
- If your mixture is too thick and not coating easily, just add a splash of whole milk and mix in your bowl.
- Repeat if necessary.
- Lightly sprinkle Paprika on top of salad before serving.
- Chill overnight if possible in a large covered bowl.
- Stir intermittently.
- Enjoy!
