Potato and Egg Salad for 50
A tater salad I make to serve at large get togethers, socials and weddings, the original recipe actually serves triple this amount but I have reduced the servings to 50 you could even reduce further to yield 25… feel free to adjust amounts to taste, if you wanted to go the extra mile boil another 8 eggs slice in half or quarters and place them around the inside edge of the bowl sprinkle then them lightly with paprika
Plan ahead this must chill for at least 5 hours before serving, if you are placing the egg halves on top make certain to cover the bowl with plastic wrap or the eggs tend to dry
Servings 50
Ingredients:
15 pounds red potatoes, peeled cooked and cubed
7-8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, chopped (or can use 1 bunch green onions, chopped)
1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimiento, drained (do not omit!…this is what makes this salad)
5 celery ribs, finely diced
3 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup sweet pickle relish
3-4 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1-1/2 tablespoon seasoned salt (or to taste, can use white salt)
1 tablespoon white sugar
3 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
paprika
green bell pepper rings, optional
Instructions:
Place the potatoes in a large pot (or you may need to cook into two pots) cover with cold water and add in 1 tablespoons salt (per pot) to the water; bring to a boil and cook until just fork tender, drain and place into two large bowls a large bowls.
Cool the potatoes to room temperature then add in chopped eggs, onion, pimiento and celery, gently toss to combine.
In a large bowl combine the mayonnaise with sour cream, garlic powder, relish, mustard, seasoned salt, white sugar and black pepper; mix vigorously until well combined.
Pour the dressing mixture over the potato salad; toss gently to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
Before serving dust lightly with paprika then arrange bell pepper rings decorativly on the top, if you are topping with egg halves then arrange with the bell pepper rings.
