Maribeth & Julia's Potato Salad

I am all for taking my favorite recipes and adapting them for the plan. This is a former Julia Child recipe that I took and ran through the fit and fabulous remake that I do. Here is the result.

Maribeth & Julia's Potato Salad
Pts:2
Servings: 20 (about 1/2-3/4 cup)


Ingredients


5 pound(s) whole uncooked white potato

1 cup(s) onion(s)

1 cup(s) celery, chopped

3 Tbsp table salt, no salt salt

1 Tbsp black pepper

8 item(s) whole hard-boiled egg(s)
2-3 tbs green hot-dog relish

1- 1/2 cup(s) fat-free mayonnaise or enough to moisten the salad.
A little mustard
The Potato Base. Halve 5 pounds of "boiling" potatoes and slice 3/16 inch thick. Boil in
lightly salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, just until tender. [if you don't slice the potatoes
exactly to the thickness she specifies, you'll have to boil the potatoes longer obviously]
Drain out cooking water, then cover the pan and let sit 3 to 4 minutes, to firm up. In a
large mixing bowl, gently fold the slices with salt, pepper, 1/2 cup minced onions, let sit for a few minutes, then very gently fold and let sit twice more.

The Finish. Fold in a finely chopped dill pickle [pickle relish],
3 or 4 chopped hard-boiled eggs, and he rest of the onion and celery. Let the salad cool, then fold in enough
mayonnaise just to enrobe the potatoes and I added two spoonfuls of mustard]. Correct seasoning.
