Saturday Share: Recipe, Potato Salad Dressing

Summertime calls for summer food like BBQ, fresh sliced tomatoes, grilled vegetables, and potato salad.

In the South, no summer gathering is complete without potato salad.

Many, many years ago, I found this recipe for Potato Salad Dressing that makes an ordinary potato salad extraordinary.

You’ll get rave reviews for your potato salad when you use this dressing so give it a try. It doesn’t take but a few minutes to whip it up from ingredients you probably already have.

Potato Salad Dressing

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup Pet evaporated milk (regular milk can be used)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup white vinegar (Experiment with different vinegars for different flavors.)
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly-ground is superb)

Directions:

• Pour vinegar into milk and mix well.
• Add other ingredients and blend well.
• Pour over hot cooked diced potatoes and mix well. (Most potato salads have chopped eggs and  pickles too.)
• Serve hot for German potato salad or chill for a cold potato salad. Be sure and keep potato salad at the proper temperature at all times–especially if you’re serving on the deck or at a picnic.
• Refrigerate any leftover dressing.

Takeaway Truth

Have a great weekend.
