I found this in a magazine years ago, and it is always a favorite when we entertain. I will be making this on Saturday, in addition to an almost seven pound pork shoulder.

3 lbs. small red potatoes
1 cup finely chopped onion
6 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 tbsp celery seed
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mustard
2 tbsp pickle juice
3 chopped scallions

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 40 minutes. The potatoes are done when an inserted knife comes out clean. Drain them, and let them cool. Dice into half inch pieces, leaving on the skins. Toss with the onion, eggs, and celery seed.

In a separate bowl, blend the mayo, sour cream, salt, pepper, sugar, mustard, and pickle juice. Pour over the potatoes, and mix it all gently. Garnish with chopped scallions. Refrigerate for four hours before serving.

When it comes to tossed salads, I only think of IMU.

Fear not; it was said in jest .... though I'm sure about that time I'll wish I was there.

Chus is going to paint some yellow lines on his lawn this afternoon just for your car, Don.

I usually just add 1 cup, because my wife doesn't like mayo.

woah woah woah chief. 40 minutes is WAY too long. you will wind up with a pot of mush. begin testing at 15 minutes and every five minutes thereafter. if you can cut the tater with the side of a fork, it is done. I am warning you!!!

Yeah, salads that are not green are not salads. They are stuff amidst gunk. They should be labeled as such. Pasta Stuff Amidst Gunk. Potato Stuff Amidst Gunk.

Agreed...the potatoes get cooked but don't lose their shape, and the potato flavor doesn't bleed out into the water as it does with boiling. In fact, I use a PC for mashed potatoes as well -- better tasting result and much quicker.

The potatoes are boiling. The pork shoulder is on the grill. Applewood chips are smoking. Temperature is 225. Time for a Bloody Mary.

I would try this if I had a pressure cooker. Perhaps, that will be our next kitchen purchase.

you're using your grill as a smoker ?

question to you or bigfan or anyone else well versed in smoking (meats)

what's the best advice for maintaining temps over a long period of time? i have a Weber bullet....things like chicken that only take 2-3 hours i have no trouble with
as far as maintaining consistent temps

but something like a pork shoulder that takes upward of 12 hours, what do you do ? i only did one once and it turned out just ok, it had good flavor but wasn't quite as tender and falling apart as i would have liked.

also, i don't soak my wood....

i guess use a thermometer and add coals and control vents when needed. but what temp? who knows?

well the cover has a thermometer on it....

but i think what i'm doing wrong is just adding the charcoal or wood straight to the smoker, i should probably get it ready in a chimney separately , then just add it when its ready

Mustard is the key. Non-mustard potato salad sucks.

And to those of you who don't like non-lettuce salads... you are un-American.
