Hey y’all! Ready to make the BEST Southern Style Potato Salad ever? This creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet potato salad is perfect for cookouts, BBQs,
or just when you’re craving a classic Southern side dish. It’s loaded with boiled eggs, crunchy pickles, and a killer mayo-mustard dressing. Let’s do this! 😋🍴
📝 Ingredients:
- 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes are great!)
- 3 large eggs, boiled and chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped (or sweet pickles if you like it sweeter)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
👩🍳 Directions:
- Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cook for 10-15 minutes until they’re tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool. You don’t want soggy taters! 🥔💦
Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, chopped pickles, red onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. This is your creamy, tangy dressing that gives the salad its Southern flavor. 🌟
Mix It Up: Once your potatoes are cool, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss in the chopped boiled eggs. Stir everything together until the potatoes are well coated and all the flavors are mixed. 😍
Chill It: Cover the potato salad and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This helps the flavors come together and makes it even better! ❄️
Serve & Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with a little paprika and fresh parsley for that extra Southern touch. Serve cold and enjoy with all your favorite BBQ foods! 🍗🌽
