I've been told I have a way with potatoe salad": There are 2 different ones I make The first is a "baked potatoe salad" Boil your potatoes then cut into small pieces. Salt & pepper to taste. Then I sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese or a mixture of jack & cheddar. Sliced green onions, bacon bits (i use the fake ones), then I mix in a couple of large spoons of sour cream and a couple spoons of prepared ranch dressing. as you can see I have no exact measurements, just mix until you get the moistness and taste you want. It's very good and a little different. The Other salad I make is a basic potatoe salad I cook my potatoes then light mash them to break them down. I salt and pepper to taste: then here's a secret ingredient that most people don't use I add about 1 teasponn of garlic powder (or to suit your taste; I add chopped green onions, chopped dill pickles, chopped black olives and mix until fairly mixed. Then I add mayonnaise (not salad dressing!) until it's faily moist; then I mix in some yellow mustard until I get the desired taste. I will tell you though the garlic powder makes the difference between a bland, blah potatoe salad and a real great one. I've taken this one to many pot lucks and socials and have received many, many compliments.
