Here is one I have used for years for parties and even in some small catering events - I always have folks asking me for the recipe
Gary’s Potato Salad
Serves 10
Go the local deli and have them cut you one slice each of these meats. Each slice should be about the thickness of your little finger.
Soprasetta - these slices will be about 3” round
Hard Salami - you want the larger one about 3” round
Ham – this is going to be about a 3 X 4 “ hunk - cut this in half and save for another use
Cut these into small chunks then throw them into a food processer and fine chop into little pieces and set aside for assembly
10 small potatoes
1/2 - 3/4 medium onion chopped ( depends on your taste)
Thawed frozen peas - green beans - white corn 2 cups combined - more corn and peas than green beans
Mayo to taste -
Garlic Powder to taste
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Boil the potatoes and save the water
Cool the potatoes and the water until well chilled
Peel and cube the potatoes
Assemble in layers
Add in the potatoes, onion, meat, veggies, mayo (large spoonful per layer), spices in layers and mix with your hands when done- add a little of the water for moisture - the potatoes are going to absorb a lot of the mayo and water - I start with 1/4 cup water before I add any additional mayo
Chill and taste after an hour or so and adjust mayo and seasonings. Chill for 3-4 hours
Let me know what you think - I am making a big batch this weekend and will post some pics
