How To Make grandma mcguire's potato salad.
-
Step 1Peel and slice your potatoes in pot your going to boil them in. Add salt. Make sure you keep potatoes under water or they will turn black. I slice my potatoes with a mandolin. If you like your potatoes to stay firm add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water you boil in and they will stay firm. Learned that from Chef Emiril Lagasse. boil for 7 minutes and drain.
-
Step 2While the potatoes are cooling in the colander do this. Dice your onion, celery. Cut up your bacon into little pieces and fry until crisp. (DO NOT Drain Fat)..
-
Step 3Put your potatoes in a large bowl. Put the bacon and grease on top of the potatoes, add celery and onion,,,,mix together lightly. Add Mayonnaise stir, add French onion dip, stir, add sugar, stir, add mustard stir. slice hard boiled eggs over top, cover bowl and put in refrigerator over night. Next day enjoy.
