sam/CT (07:02:20) : Here is the Potato Salad Dressing my Grandmother taught me.
1/2 cup vinegar
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 eggs
combine and beat well. Put in non reactive pot over medium heat stir occasionally until thick. Add mayonnaise and sour cream cool. Use this for macaroni salad with a little mustard.
Use your imagination when putting together your potato or macaroni salad. I am traditional and use just potatoes, onion, and celery, sometimes sweet pepper.
Enjoy

Red Potato Salad with Asparagus and Artichoke Hearts
3 pounds red potatoes (15 or 6 small or 8 or 9 large [3-inch] potatoes)
1 pound fresh asparagus, 1 inch trimmed off the base, and if the stalks are thicker than a pencil, peeled
4-1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoons honey
3/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 14-ounce can whole artichoke hearts, drained, each heart cut vertically into eighths
3 ounces blue cheese (about 3/4 cup) or more to taste, crumbled (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Freshly milled black pepper
Fresh arugula or spinach (optional)
Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until they can be pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes for small potatoes, 25 to 30 minutes for larger ones. Drain and let cool for a few minutes. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces and place in a large
bowl.
Steam the asparagus until tender but not soggy, just until a knife can pierce the thick part of the stalk, 8 to 12 minutes. Immediately remove from the steam and transfer to a cutting board to cool. Slice into 1-inch lengths and add to the potatoes.
Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt in a small bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until
well blended and creamy. Add the artichokes and dressing to the potatoes and toss lightly.
Add the blue cheese (if using), dill, and pepper to taste. Toss lightly, taste, and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, and/or blue cheese to taste.
Refrigerate until serving time. Serve on a bed of arugula or spinach, if desired.
No-Frills Red Potato Salad: Omit the asparagus, artichoke hearts and blue cheese. The dill can be omitted too if you wish. Add 1/4 medium red onion, diced and 1 large celery rib, diced.
