I got the potato salad from them and That recipe is like Margarets. Brining the potato overnight and then drain the brine and add mayo (only Hellmans) the next day.

They will keep their shape better so you can slice them thinner.<br /><br />When you boil them, add a half-cup of vinegar to the cooking water. This also makes the potatoes firmer so you can slice them thinner.<br /><br />Slice them as thin as you can.

I do what you do when I make other kinds of potato salad... as for serving it the next day... I think this one is good on day oneLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858557987591867168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036737765155951537.post-28060388141595942252009-05-24T11:15:16.115-04:002009-05-24T11:15:16.115-04:00Oh Suzie...
