Famous Potato Salad, classic picnic food, this verson is creamy.

Famous Potato Salad

Everyone who has ever tried this Potato Salad gives it rave reviews. You won’t believe how simple this ingredient list is or the ingredient that makes it so creamy! Unlike most potato salads that have cubes or chunks of potatoes, this potato salad is smooth and creamy. It has a consistency much like mashed potatoes.

This potato salad is legendary in Tupelo. I have friends from out of town who insist on eating at this little unassuming restaurant (that many other out-of-towners by-pass) just to eat the Potato Salad.

It’s that good!

This recipe can be prepared the night before and will be ready to go for your party, bbq, or potluck!

Process bell pepper fine in a food processor and saute’ lightly.

Boil five pounds of red potatoes with skin on.

 
Chop one onion fine in a food processor and drain.
 

Saute’ onions until soft.

 

Process pimento and saute’

Peel potatoes. Combine vegetables, salt, and pepper with a spoon, not a mixer.

    How long do you sauté the pimentos? I made this tonight and my salad taste pretty close to Finney’s but is orange in color.

    How would this be with pickles? Have you ever added them?

      I would grate or mince them. I’m not a pickle fan, but I’m sure if you like pickles it would be good in it.
