Dad Bond’s Regular Potato Salad

May 17, 2024 by Dana Leave a Comment

Derek & I share a love of fishing with our friend Kent and for many years each summer Kent and Derek would take two fishing trips a year – one to each of their hometowns.  Over the years Derek shared our favorite way of cooking up a Walleye Fish Fry and Derek got to enjoy the Bond family’s coleslaw and potato salad.  I shared their recipe for tangy vinegar coleslaw almost 10 years ago and it not only became but remains a family favorite for us!

Now it’s time for me to share the infamous potato salad recipe.

It’s a mayo-based recipe that incorporates some vinegar tang and just a hint of mustard, adds in some crunch with onion, green pepper and salad and folds some hard-boiled eggs.

Here’s what you need:

Start by hard boiling four eggs using your favorite method.

Bring the potatoes a boil in salted water with the skin on and boil until a fork pierces the potato easily – about 15 minutes. Peel the potatoes while still warm and then chop or slice – I like to chop personally.

While the potatoes cook finely dice some green pepper, red onion and celery.  I use one green pepper and then chop enough onion and celery so it’s roughly equal parts. There is no right or wrong so increase/decrease the amounts to your liking.

To make your sauce, add water, flour, sugar, cider vinegar, dry mustard and 2 eggs to a medium saucepan.

Whisk together and cook over low heat stirring constantly until thick.  Until your whisk leaves a trail but fills in on itself.

Add some mayo.

Whisk until well combined.

Peel the hardboiled eggs. Slice 2 of your eggs for decorating and chop the other two.  I like to use one of these cool wire egg slicers (#EarnsCommision) because eggs can be slipper little suckers and we had one when I was growing up and it was the coolest way to slice eggs as a kid – and safe enough my mom let me do it.  You can use it to chop too by rotating the egg and cutting again.

To a large bowl add potatoes, chopped eggs, onion, celery and green pepper.

Add the sauce.

Mix everything together.

Transfer to a serving bowl and top with sliced egg.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
