Baked Potato And Ham Salad For A Crowd (Great For Potlucks!)
Taken from my “Favorites” folder!…
The potato cubes are coated with oil and dry Italian seasoning, baked cooled and coated with a mayo dressing then chilled for 1 hour before serving, all amounts may be adjusted to taste, do not use bottled Italian dressing only dry packaged
This yields two 13 x 9-inch casseroles enough to feed up to 16-18 people
Ingredients:
4-1/2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and chopped into about 3/4-inch cubes (do not boil the potatoes they will bake in the oven)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 envelopes of dry Italian seasoning mix (use you own favorite mix)
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
green onions, chopped (use as many as desired)
2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
6 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 to 3 cups cooked cubed ham (can use more, or 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled)
DRESSING:
1-1/2 cups mayonnaise (such as Hellman’s mayonnaise, do not use salad dressing)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoon dried basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors)
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste (can use white salt to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
Instructions:——————————————–
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease two 13 x 9-inch baking pans.
In a large bowl toss the cubed potatoes with oil and both packages Italian seasoning mix, then divide into the baking pans.
Bake uncovered for about 35-405 minutes or until the potato cubes are just fork-tender (watch closely you do not want to bake until very soft) cool to room temperature then transfer to a large bowl.
Add in bell pepper, green onions, chopped tomatoes, eggs and ham; toss very gently to combine.
For the dressing; in a bowl whisk the mayonnaise with remaining ingredients until smooth and well combined; pour over the salad and toss toss gently.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
