This Recipe Has Moved ♥ Mom's Potato Salad Recipe
My mother's recipe for a traditional American-style homemade potato salad – it's the one I make again and again without needing a "recipe". And while not "diet food," Mom's recipe calls for cooked eggs and cottage cheese so the potato salad is loaded with protein too. Fresh herbs really brighten the flavors! I make other potato salads on occasion but this is the one I come back to over and over, the one I make almost without thinking. But the recipe has moved to a new location,

I like the shorthand. While I have all my recipes typed up and on my computer, I don't have a system like that to take with me. Cool and clever idea! I wanted to let you know I made the creamed turnips tonight (yum!) and posted about them, with links and reference back to you.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great. I love my own mom's potato salad but I'm sure I'd like this one, too! Never used cottage cheese but it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to do WW on my own starting this week and came upon your site. It is fantastic! Your mom's potato salad recipe looks divine but I was wondering about the portion size. Is it one-half cup per serving?
ReplyDeleteIt is, so sorry, I work hard to make that clear but do sometimes overlook the serving size detail. But it's consistent throughout the site.
ReplyDeleteSince this is so long after you posted the recipe, I'm sure I won't get a response, but I'm wondering why "~ horrors, I know ~ sweet pickle relish..." What's wrong with sweet pickle relish? Home made is especially good. Also, just wanted to let you know I grew up in Wyoming, and my Mom's standby also was Miracle Whip. I still prefer it myself.
ReplyDeleteHi GreenGrannie ~ Ha. Two years later and I have no idea. Maybe because sweet pickle is a little declasse? Hmm, not sure! But have also never had the pleasure of homemade sweet pickle, maybe this year! Thanks for taking a minute to write!
ReplyDeleteah, looks great..i just love potato salad~ never tried it with mustard though, should give this a try~ thanks~
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this today for the first time--it's my mother's recipe too, almost. She always added some Shedd's Old Style Sauce--a sort of mayo type sauce spiked with horseradish and mustard--I don't know if you can still buy it, i think not but not to worry--just add some horseradish to taste (not too much). And as for the cottage cheese, I guess it is mostly to extend the mayo without adding more calories from fat, she definitely would have done that if she had known--she was always trying to cut calories from everything.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe really reminds me of my grandmother's potatoe salad. I was never a fan of sweet pickles but in her memory I am up for a nice walk down memory lane. Thanks for the memory!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom's potato salad looks lovely! I will have to try it. We grew up with Cain's mayo (New England!) onion and lemon and no egg, no cottage cheese. Also nice, very fresh. But the reason I had to comment is the photo. My mom has that same dish!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! And, I always tell my friends and family that the very special seasonal or holiday recipes I prepare are not diet, they are fun, fabulous and are only enjoyed for short periods of time, so relax and just enjoy!
