My father is a great cook and everyone LOVES his famous potato salad. He makes this quite often and has multiple requests to bring this heavenly recipe to various summertime bbq's and parties. My father also does a great job garnishing this dish, which makes this recipe very unique.
He tells me this was my dear Aunt June's recipe who was also a tremendous cook as well. This one is defiantly a keeper!
Johnny O's Famous Potato Salad
5 lbs of potatoes, peeled, cubed into quarters, cooked until soft and cooled
1-2 cups (need to eyeball, may need more or less) Hellmann's mayo (do not use any other brand)
1 large heaping tbs Miracle Whip
2 tbs of fresh Italian parsley finely chopped
2-3 tbs French's Yellow Mustard
1 tbs white vinegar
6-8 hard boiled eggs chopped up (plus 2 more for garnish)
Salt and pepper
Garnish
1 large tomato cut into quarters or in half zig-zag style
2 hard boiled eggs cut in half
Black and green olives
Paprika (sprinkle)
Lettuce
Parsley
You can also garnish with cucumber, peperoncini peppers, bell pepper, etc.
In a large bowl, add the cooked potatoes, and all of the listed ingredients. Once you have everything combined and well seasoned...now it's time to garnish.
In a pretty glass bowl, line with lettuce, add the potato salad in the middle. Garnish with tomatoes, olives and hard boiled eggs. Give once last sprinkle of salt and pepper. Top off with Paprika (not too much). Done!
