CROEMER....first you talk about canned soup; now you're talking about peeling potatoes....what's next, catching you with chocolate cake in your mouth, uh huh!

Dang and I hid the can of frosting...you rat posting this!

[Irshgrl31201]

5 large potatoes

3 Tbs white vinegar

1 Tbs red vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp mustard seed

1 tsp celery seed

1/2 red capsicum chopped

3/4 cup of mayo

1/2 cup of sour cream

1/4 cup chopped leeks

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup dill pickle relish ( or sweet if you prefer)

1tsp dijon mustard

salt and pepper

Cook potatoes. Peel and cube while warm.

In separate bowl combine vinegars, salt and pepper, sugar, dijon mustard, mustard seed and celery seed. Pour over warm cubed potatoes and stir lightly and chill.

After potatoes are chilled combine the mayo, sour cream, capsicum, leeks, green onion and relish and lightly stir in to chilled potatoes.

Best when it sits a while.

Hope you like it.

OK...that recipe is different then mine. I do use Dill relish instead of sweet. I use Mayo and NO mustard. I do use a bit of celery seed, onion, boiled eggs and a touch of pimento... a bit of cream of tarter, salt,pepper and garlic salt.

That recipe sounds very interesting.

I loved it. The vinegars and sour cream really made it taste so good. I hadn't had vinegars in any prior potato salad I eaten. I like the dill better than sweet too! I sometimes add eggs to it and any other chopped veggie I like. This was his recipe though so I wrote it down as he made it. He didn't measure anything so I tried my best to figure out ratios, but I do that with my own. I never measure.

Same here I do it by taste. My MIL used this recipe and like you I went to her house and we made it together so I would know how she made it because she never measured either.

Thank you - everything but the sour cream and white vinegar were used by my mom - of course salt and pepper too.

[Irshgrl31201]

Your welcome. I just realized I wrote down red capsicum. I am sure you know this already but that is red pepper. I don't know why I wrote it down like that probably because when I am there and say red pepper people don't know what I am talking about.

Yes, I knew what you were talking about. I say, "aubergine" instead of, eggplant.
