What’s for Dinner? Mama’s Potato Salad, Fried Summer Squash, Boiled Shrimp, and a Fresh Green Salad

What’s for Dinner? Mama’s Potato Salad, Fried Summer Squash, Boiled Shrimp, and a Fresh Green Salad


   
Mama's Recipe
   My mom is pretty well known for her potato salad. We used to eat it as soon as she had it finished, still pipping hot. I got her to write down the ingredients for me a while back, and it has been sitting in my recipe binder ever since. I wanted to make a potato salad that was true to her recipe, but I am the only one who will eat it at my house so I had to downsize.

Mama’s Potato Salad (My Version)


Ingredients:
 1 lb. Petite Red Potatoes
2 Boiled Eggs
3 tbsp.  sour cream
1 tbsp.  Mayo
1 tsp. Vinegar
1 tbsp.  Sweet relish
1 tbsp.  Chopped Onion

Directions:

  1. Boil potatoes. Boil eggs. Cook bacon.
  2. Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. (I prefer to put mine in the fridge for at least 15 minutes while everything else finishes cooking.)
  3. Pat bacon free of any remaining grease. Crumble and add to mixing bowl.
  4. Drain potatoes. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to mixing bowl.
  5. Drain eggs. Peel. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to mixing bowl.
  6. Use electric mixer on low speed to blend all ingredients together.
  7. Serve chilled.
