Make creamy potato salad using shredded potatoes.
Shredded potato salad is similar to traditional potato salad but features grated instead of sliced or chopped potatoes. Using shredded potatoes will give the salad a smooth texture. Classic-style potato salad features a creamy mayonnaise base, tender potatoes and occasionally hard boiled eggs. You can customize the flavor of the salad with the addition of extra vegetables, fresh herbs and other seasonings.Serve the homemade potato salads at picnics, cookouts and other casual events.
Instructions
1. Boil five white or yellow potatoes until they are fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the water and allow them to thoroughly cool. Peel the potatoes and shred them using a grater. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. Chop three hard boiled eggs and add them to the bowl, along with one chopped stalk of celery, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. creamy Dijon mustard, 1 small chopped red onion and 1/2 cup sweet or dill pickle relish, depending on your preference. Sprinkle in salt and ground black pepper to taste.
3. Combine the ingredients gently and thoroughly using a large wooden spoon.
4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place the potato salad in a refrigerator for two hours to chill it before serving.
