My potato salad.
Since I have been lurking this foum for awhile and have gotten a wealth of info from it, I want to give something back. I came up with this recipie after many years of trying to make a really good potato salad. Everyone that tries it loves it.

Enjoy...

6 medium potatoes (I like using Yukon Gold)
4 teaspoons sugar
6 tablespoons white vinegar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon celery salt
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until fork tender. While still warm, peel and slice about 1/4" thick.
While potatoes are cooking, whisk sugar and vinegar until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in oil, salt and pepper. Pour this over warm potatoes and mix gently. Place in refrigerator until chilled.
Mix mayo with celery salt. Combine with potatoes after they have cooled.

Dutch's Potato Salad for a Crowd


BURKSMOKE (Randy) is going to cook for a crowd and is planning on serving potato salad as one of the side dishes. Being the REALLY nice guy that you all have learned to love (cough,cough) and appreciate (Okay!!I hear them eyeballs rolling) I though I would dig in my book of recipes and help a Brother out.

Randy, this recipe will feed forty so I hope that it will be plenty.

20 pounds of white all-purpose potatoes
24 eggs
4 cups of celery, finely chopped
2 cups of green onion, sliced-white and green part
1 quart plus 3 cups of Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1 cup of yellow mustard
1/2 cup sweet or dill pickle relish

In large pot boil potatoes until fork tender, drain off water and allow to cool. Boil eggs to Hard boiled stage, place under cold running water until cool.

Peel and cut potatoes in to cubes (I prefer not to peel my 'taters). Shell hard boiled eggs and dice. Mix potatoes and eggs together.

In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour over potato and egg mixture, stir in gentely but completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serves 40 people.

Randy, if you are going to serve your ribs with a sweet 'que sauce and since most likely your beans will be sweet also, you may want to use a dill pickle relish in this recipe to offset the sugars that are in the other two dishes.
 
Hey, thanks for the quick replies. I think I'll try the Smokin Lou recipe first. I like simple.

I'll let ya know!
 
For a different taste try:
Chinese Potato Salad

5-6 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
4 slices bacon, well-cooked and crumbled
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped celantro

Sauce
1 1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs soy sauce
1-2 tsp sesame oil
1/8-1/4 tsp hot mustard powder
1/8 tsp salt

Boil the potatoes until cooked but still firm. Cut into potato
salad-sized chunks. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together,
using more or less sesame oil and host mustard according to taste
(the more the better, up to a point...). Put all solid ingredients
together in a large bowl, then add the sauce and mix well. Chill.
