Potato Salad???

tailgatingpirate · Jan 4, 2008

if your ever around Little Rock, Arkansas make sure you stop by the Whole Hog. The BBQ is great (i prefer my own) but there potato salad is out of this world. I have never considered making potato salad with my que (normally slaw and cornbread) but after a reminder of how good the Whole Hogs Potato Salad is im on a quest to find a good one

Better not ask me. I don't use mayo. :{)

I have a potato salad recipe you can try. Adjust potatoes by number of people that will eat.

(5) fist sized potatoes (peeled )
(1) med. onion ( minced )
(3) hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
squirt of prepared mustard
salt and pepper (to taste)

Boil potatoes until tender. May boil eggs in the same water if you want. Cut potatoes into 1/4" to 1/2" cubes. Dice up eggs in a bowl. Mix all ingredients together and adjust mustard and salt & pepper to taste.

I have used this recipe to feed (6) people up to (50) people according to
amount of potatoes,eggs, onion.

Hope you enjoy.

Potato Salad

(Drizzling the sweet pickle juice over the warm potatoes is the secret to this delicious potato salad.)

3 Â½ pounds red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into Â¾ inch pieces
Â¼ cup juices from jar of sweet pickles

Â¾ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup buttermilk
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
Â½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Â½ cup chopped red onion
Â½ cup chopped sweet pickles
Â½ cup chopped celery

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to large bowl. Drizzle pickle juices over potatoes and toss gently to blend. Cool to room temp.

Whisk mayo, buttermilk, mustard, sugar and pepper in medium bowl to blend; season to taste with salt. . Mix in onion and pickles to mixture. Pour over potatoes and toss gently to blend.

desertlites · Feb 26, 2008

Wife uses dill pickle juice instead of sweet.... Makes all the difference in the world...

I'll give you my personal recipe for red potato salad for a group:

5 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and boiled in the skins.
Let them cool so you can handle them easier.
Cut them up in the size you want leaving the skins on....like bite size or smaller.
Add to the bowl of potatoes:

2 cups Miracle Whip (I use the lite kind)
1 large chopped onion
2 stalks celery, chopped
a squirt of mustand (any kind)

Mix well into the potatoes (mix with hands if you like)

Several hard boiled eggs, sliced and laid on top of the potatoe salad (some people don't like eggs mixed in)

Sprinkle paprika on top of the eggs.

Never, ever had any complaints about this recipe.

TailGatingPirate,

I know what you are saying about the Whole Hogâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s potato salad. There is a Whole Hog in Bentonville, AR as well. I just moved from there and boy will I miss that place!! All of the recipes below sound awesome but none are similar to the recipe you (WE!!) need.

To all you recipe aficionados out thereâ€¦ Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve had this at another BBQ place ( I think in OKC??) and they called theirs â€œLoaded Potato Saladâ€ because it is similar to a â€œLoadedâ€ baked potato. There seems to be bacon bits, sour cream, chives, black pepper, maybe butter???? I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know what else. I havenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t tried to make it yet. The smoke house in OKC (I think??) served theirs with a little finely shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Anyone have any ideas?

smokin' joe · Feb 27, 2008

This kinda sounds like what you guys are asking for. ENJOY!!!

8 potatoes, cubed (half peeled or half with skin) (boiled until tender)
2 teaspoons salt
6 slices bacon, diced & crisp cooked
6 green onions, or chives
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
16 ounces sour cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste if you like)
1 cup Miracle Whip

Mix it all together top with chedar cheese and bake at 350 for 15-20 min

smoke_chef · Feb 27, 2008

I think this may be it. I wouldn't have thought about the mayo since it has the sour cream. That's where I would have gone wrong. I can't wait to try it. Thanks!

I'll have to dig up my grandma's potato salad recipe... usually I don't care for tater salad, but hers is excellent!

jbg4208 · Feb 27, 2008

This kinda saounds like the one we have in Harrison. Roosters BBQ. Except they use smoked pulled pork instead of the bacon. It is devine!!!

strider · Feb 27, 2008

The Loaded potato salad mentioned can be bought from Sysco or Us Food Service. I think 5 lbs. is around $11.

That recipe sounds great, Smokin'Joe. I want to try it. Saved it to a document. I'll get the ingredients next time I'm at the market. Thanks.

smokin' joe · Feb 28, 2008

anytime Rocky. I aim to please!!!

tenblade · Mar 2, 2008

I was actually coming here to post the same question. When I lived in Little Rock we loved their potato salad at Whole Hog. No such thing here in Michigan. :(

If you find something similar let me know!!!

My wife makes her Granny's recipe , it is great.

Little Mayo
Mustard
Olives
Celery Seed (key ingredient)
Relish
Chopped Harboiled Eggs
Salt
Pepper
Onion
Paprika

If it doesn't have to be homemade, get the Red Potato Salad from Sam's Club. It is by far the best store bought tater salad I have had. Sam's generally has such high quality products.

So, TailGatingPirate, did you find the potato salad recipe you can live with yet?
