Potato Salad Recipe

Potato Salad Recipe #1

Potato salad is usually considered to be an economical salad.
It may be made with left-over potatoes or potatoes cooked especially for this purpose.
If there are in supply a large number of small potatoes, which are difficult to use in ordinary ways, they may be cooked with the skins on and peeled to be used for salad when they have cooled.
A boiled salad dressing is perhaps the most desirable for such a salad.

Cut into dice six medium sized potatoes (boiled);
three medium onions; salt and pepper them to taste;
pour over and mix well the following dressing:

Three well beaten eggs, three large tablespoonfuls of strong vinegar, a lump of butter size of a walnut, pinch of salt, pepper and mustard (unmixed);
put on the stove and cook to a thin custard, stirring constantly.
For serving four to six people.
