Ultimate Potato Salad
Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • salt to taste
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 large hard-cooked eggs, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging potatoes in a large container filled with salted water; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
Then, decrease the heat to a moderate-low setting and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
3
Drain the water from the pot and set the cooked potatoes aside to cool down.
4
While the potatoes are cooking, combine sugar, 2 beaten eggs, and cornstarch in a saucepan; add a pinch of salt to the mixture.
5
Then, stir in milk, vinegar, and mustard over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in butter until it's fully incorporated.
7
Next, refrigerate the sauce until it cools down, then stir in mayonnaise to give it a creamy texture.
8
Peel and dice the cooked potatoes. Transfer them to a large bowl; add diced hard-cooked eggs, chopped onion, and celery to the bowl.
9
Toss the potato salad gently with a spoon until it's evenly coated with the dressing.
10
Finally, chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
