Classic Amish Potato Salad
Ingredients
  • 6 medium white potatoes with skin
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
Instructions
1
Place the potatoes into a large container, and fill with sufficient water to cover them completely. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until they can be pierced easily with a fork. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool down.
2
While the potatoes are cooking, combine 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard, and cook over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, taking around 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Allow it to cool down, then refrigerate until chilled before stirring in the mayonnaise.
3
Once cooled, peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Place the potato pieces in a large bowl, then add chopped onion, diced celery, grated carrots, celery seed, and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing mixture to combine all the ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
