Description:
A creamy potato salad that is simple to make, and is a sure crowd pleaser. This dish has garnered popularity at barbecues, becoming a staple for its delicious flavor and creamy texture.
Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 3 eggs
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Garlic Mayonnaise Mixture:
- In a container with a lid, combine mayonnaise, finely diced onion, and crushed garlic cloves.
- Mix well and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. This allows the flavors of garlic and onion to infuse into the mayonnaise.
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on, and cube them.
- Boil until tender, ensuring the skin is SLIGHTLY coming away. The potatoes will be slightly overcooked by traditional potato salad standards, enhancing the creaminess.
- Set aside to cool.
-
Prepare the Eggs:
- While the potatoes are cooling, hard boil the eggs.
- Once cooled, cut the hard-boiled eggs into quarters lengthwise and set aside.
-
Assemble the Salad:
- Place the cooled cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the prepared mayonnaise mixture, corn kernels, and chopped chives to the bowl.
- Mix the ingredients well, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
-
Final Touch:
- Carefully place the quartered eggs throughout the salad.
- Avoid over-mixing to prevent the eggs from losing their yolk and discoloring the salad.
