Many years ago, someone in the family collected recipes from descendants of my great grandparents, William M. and Florence E. (Snodgrass) Whaley and had them compiled into a cookbook. I am posting those recipes here so that they will not be lost. This recipe was submitted by my Great Aunt Allene.

Ingredients

  • 1 large can evaporated milk
  • 1 can water
  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 cups instant potato flakes, dry
  • 6 large hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 4 large dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (red onion if in season)
  • 1 can ripe olives, chopped
  • 1 small jar pimentos

  • 3/4 cup ranch salad dressing

How To Make instant potato salad

  • Step 1
    Melt butter in milk and water in a large mixing bowl, in the microwave.
  • Step 2
    Stir in potatoes. If potatoes are too thick, stir in a small amount of hot water. Set aside to cool.
  • Step 3
    After potatoes are cooled, add eggs, onions, pickles, olives and pimentos.
  • Step 4
    Stir in mustard, ranch dressing and mayonnaise. Mix well. Chill and serve.
  • Step 5
    This does not need additional seasoning as the Ranch dressing gives it a nice flare.
