Big Jim's Secret Seasoning
After
boiling the potatoes (do not overcook!), rinse them in cold water and place
them in the refrigerator for an hour.
Once
the boiled potatoes have cooled in the refrigerator, use a filet knife or
other thin-bladed knife, cut the potatoes into crouton-sized cubes.
Halve
the eggs and remove the yolks. Roughly chop the whites and set them aside. Mash
the egg yolks in the mixing bowl until there are no lumps, then
add the mustard and salad dressings. Stir until smooth.
Put
the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and add the chopped egg whites, the
yolk mixture and all other ingredients except for the paprika, saving the
mayonnaise as the final addition. While adding the mayonnaise in last, stir
carefully and slowly until the salad is well blended. Too much mayonnaise can
make the potato salad runny -- if you don't need all the mayonnaise, then stop
when you have a good blend.
Transfer
the potato salad to an adequate serving bowl and sprinkle the paprika over the
top as a garnish. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours
prior to serving.
