who is grandma betty? she is my husband's grandmother and the sweetest woman ever. the first time i tried her potato salad recipe, i was hooked and was literally going back specifically for it alone. what i like about it the most is the crunch from the celery and red onions, but what makes it stand out is the secret ingredient of ranch dressing. this is a fairly easy recipe to make and i think it's worth a try for your next bbq!
GRANDMA BETTY'S POTATO SALAD
- 12-15 red potatoes
- 5 hard-boiled eggs
- 3/4 c mayo
- 1 packet of dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 c chopped celery
- 1/2 c chopped red onions
- 1/4 c water
- salt & pepper to taste
boil potatoes until fork tender. drain and let cool for 30 mins. then, peel and dice. set aside.
dice *hard-boiled eggs and set aside.
in a medium bowl, mix mayo, ranch mix, celery, onions, and water.
gently add potatoes and eggs. try not to mash potatoes.
my yummy tip: how to *hard boil eggs - cover eggs with water. bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. drain water and wash with cold water. cover eggs again with cold water and let sit and cool.
