GRANDMA BETTY'S POTATO SALAD


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.
