Mustard potato salad is a zesty side dish for nearly any occasion, including picnics, backyard get-togethers, meetings or even bridal showers and baby showers. One recipe is creamier than the other so you can please your guests' palates. Make the salads ahead of time so that the potatoes have a chance to cool down completely and the ingredients have a chance to blend together.
Mustard Potato Salad with Cucumbers
Ingredients You Will Need:
8 large potatoes
1 cup onion, diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1 cup cucumbers, diced
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
3 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon vinegar
Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes until they are fork-tender. Cool the potatoes, and then add the onion, eggs and cucumbers. For the sauce, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar and vinegar. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. The grains of sugar should have dissolved by the time you pour the sauce over the salad. Add the sauce to the potato combination.
Sour Cream and Mustard Potato Salad Recipe

2 tablespoons onion, diced

Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and mustard together, and then add it to the cooled potatoes. Once it is completely mixed, add the peas, and mix well. If needed, add another half teaspoon of mustard and another tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Slice the reserved hard-boiled eggs, and place them over the top. Sprinkle paprika over the sliced eggs, and serve cold.
Is it possible that a much-loved salad received its name from a political scandal during the 1970s? The truth is unclear whether Watergate salad came about due to the government cover-up or if the pistachio pudding salad earned its name from the pudding manufacturer. |
Cole slaw is the perfect addition to any barbecue, fish or fried meal. It is a salad composed of cabbage, vinaigrette and a mixture of spices, depending on the flavor combinations you are trying to achieve. |
Like many Italian recipes, panzanella originated because of thrifty Italian cooks in the Tuscan region. Nothing in an Italian kitchen goes to waste. A rind of Parmigiano Reggiano finds its way into a pot of minestrone and day-old bread not only makes breadcrumbs or is used in meatballs but also forms the base of this easy panzanella recipe. |
