How to Make Potato Salad in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Have you ever seen Cris’ No Peel Crock Pot Boiled Eggs? It is a pretty nifty way to make up hard boiled eggs without having to peel them! I mean, come on, who actually LIKES to peel eggs? Not me! So when thinking of classic summer recipes, Cris asked if I would like to make up a potato salad recipe. I had never made it before, but thought it could be a good one. So why not?!
Since I had never made potato salad before, I needed a recipe. There are lots of “best ever potato salad” recipes out there. They were all just a little different, which is good! Variety is the spice of life after all…right? Then I had a face palm moment. What was I doing looking around for ideas for the recipe when I had a great resource right at my fingertips? Momma! So I asked her about it. She said she always used Gramma’s recipe. We just passed the 5 year anniversary of us losing Gramma, so I thought it would be great to use her recipe.
We had some of this yummy Crock Pot Potato Salad, and I gave some to Mom and Dad. Everyone agreed that it was delicious! I am guessing you and your loved ones will love it as well!
Don’t let the number of ingredients or steps scare you. You are making something from scratch, so there are bound to be a bunch of both. This really is a simple recipe. You can do it! I promise. Girl Scout’s honor!
