granny's danish potato salad
(1 RATING)
This is the potato salad many generations of my family has grown up with. I have fond memories as a child of helping my granny dig "taters" and then making this potato salad. This was always a required side dish for holiday dinners!

How To Make granny's danish potato salad
-
Step 1Wash potatoes. Place potatoes, skins on, in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes 20-30 minutes, or until fork tender.
-
Step 2Remove potatoes from heat and rinse in cold water. Let sit about 10 minutes in cool water until they are cooled enough to handle.
-
Step 3Once cooled, peel potatoes, skins should easily pull off the potatoes. Once peeled, dice potatoes to desired size.
-
Step 4In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sweet relish, diced hard-boiled eggs, and salt & pepper. Set aside.
-
Step 5In a saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, water, and salt & pepper (if desired). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
-
Step 6Once mixture comes to a boil, quickly wisk/stir in the beaten eggs and continue stirring well for 5 minutes over medium heat or until the mixture starts to slightly thicken (will coat the back of the spoon).
-
Step 7Once cooked mixture thickens, remove from heat and stir in the mayonnaise. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
-
Step 8Once the cooked mixture is throughly combined, pour over the potato mixture and stir well.
-
Step 9You may serve this salad at room temperature or serve chilled.
