Prize Winning Potato Salad

I made this potato salad yesterday and thought I'd share it with you today. This is my favorite potato salad. I found the recipe many years ago in a magazine. It didn't win the top prize in their contest, but was right up there near the top. Personally, I think it should have won.

Prize Winning Potato Salad
(Serves 8-10)

Dressing:
½ cup sugar
1 T. cornstarch
1 t. dry mustard
½ t. salt (I omit salt in all recipes.)
¾ cup water
¼ cup vinegar
2 eggs – slightly beaten
1 cup mayonnaise

In heavy saucepan combine first 7 ingredients; cook, stirring until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap and cool in refrigerator. (I do this part the day before.) Stir mayonnaise into cooled mixture.

Salad:
6 cups potatoes, cooked in jackets, cooled, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
5 hard cooked eggs
¼ cup shredded onion
¼ cup parsley, chopped
1 ½ t. salt (I omit)
½ t. pepper
Paprika

Mix all ingredients and toss gently. Add dressing and stir until well mixed. Garnish with some egg and paprika.



I didn't bother garnishing it with some of the egg. I just mixed all the hard cooked eggs into the salad. Please don't judge the recipe on my lousy picture. Try it instead. It's really, really good.
