Potato Salad Recipes
This vegetable salad, with a creamy sweet-sour dressing, combines sliced, cooked potatoes with a puree of onion and celery.
5 lbs small red potatoes
1 medium yellow onion
6 celery stalks
2 cups of mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Put potatoes in a pot; cover with water and boil until tender when poked with a fork. Drain and rinse with cold water. When potatoes are cooled, peel. (Skins will come off easy with a knife.) In a large mixing bowl slice potatoes thinly. Cut up onion and celery; put into a food processor. Process until they become liquid then add to sliced potatoes. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend well and chill.
