INGREDIENTS
3 pounds red potatoes
2 celery stalks, diced
1/2 red onion, diced; Salt and
pepper to taste
1 cup mayonnaise
1-2 tablespoons of yellow mustard
1/4 cup chopped green olives
1-2 tablespoons olive juice
5 hard boiled eggs diced (reserve
one whole hard-boiled egg for
garnishing the top)
1 green onion chopped for garnish
paprika for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. Quarter potatoes and boil in salted water; salted water is important. Boil until
fork tender.
2. While potatoes are cooking, dice celery, red onion and olives. Set aside. In a
small bowl mix together mayo and mustard (this helps it blend into the salad
more evenly).
3. When potatoes are done, drain while still hot, but you are able to handle them,
rough chop potatoes into big bowl, add diced onions, celery, salt and pepper,
the mayo/mustard mixture and the olive juice. Mix gently, so as not to " mash " the
potatoes. Do not let the potatoes cool down before you do this step.
4. Add in the chopped eggs and olives. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste. If
you add enough salt to the water when boiling, you should need less salt when
putting the salad together.
5. I use one egg sliced for garnish on top of the salad along with a diced green
onion (white and green parts) and sprinkle with a little paprika for color.
Sandy Coffey
One of the most iconic staple foods of any cookout is potato salad. When it
comes to Sandy's recipe, this is an understatement. Her mother was the first
one to come up with their potato salad recipe which was a challenge in itself.
" My heritage is Italian, " Sandy said. " Introducing something other than
pasta was a challenge growing up. "
Sandy worked with her three daughters over the years to " tweak " the recipe
to perfection. She fondly remembers what her neighbors would say about
it when she lived in North Carolina.
" I heard many times from people, they did not like potato salad until they
tried mine. "
