Introducing Granny Sue's famous potato salad recipe, a delicious and easy to make dish that is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Made with tender boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, sweet onions, and a tangy dressing, this potato salad is the perfect combination of flavors and textures.

As I prepare this recipe, I can't help but to reminisce about my childhood and the memories I have of watching my Granny Sue peel potatoes with an old silver knife over the sink. She would also use that same knife to chop the potatoes, eggs, and onions and never used a cutting board. Instead, she would use her hands and thumb to press the knife into the ingredients to chop them up roughly. I think back and I realize how tough of a woman she was to be able to chop like that without hurting herself. I admire her for that.

The Health Benefits of Potatoes

Potatoes are a great source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. Potassium is an important mineral that helps to maintain healthy blood pressure levels and protect against heart disease. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps to protect against cancer and other chronic diseases. Dietary fiber is essential for maintaining healthy digestion, and it also helps to promote satiety and control blood sugar levels.

The Health Benefits of Eggs

Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also a good source of choline, which is important for brain health. Eggs also contain antioxidants, which can help to protect against chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

How to Make Granny Sue's Potato Salad

Making Granny Sue's potato salad is easy and straightforward. Simply boil your potatoes until fork tender, and then drain them and mash them up like you would do mashed potatoes. Add butter and evaporated milk, and season with salt and pepper. Set it aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the onion, sweet pickled relish, mayonnaise, and yellow mustard. Once everything is mixed well, add the eggs last so they don't get too mashed up in the potato salad. Mix everything well before adding the eggs, and then fold them in. Once done, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight and serve!
