Potato Salad
5 pounds boiled potatoes (skin on or off), sliced into small cubes
4-5 sliced stalks of celery
1 pound crisply fried bacon, cut into small pieces
1 chopped medium onion
4-5 hard boiled eggs, chopped into small pieces
1 cup creamy italian salad dressing
1 cup mayonaise
2 tsps. sugar
2 Tbsps. mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsps. sweet relish
Put potatoes,veggies, bacon, and eggs in a large bowl and toss together well. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together salad dressing, mayonaise, sugar, relish, mustard, salt and pepper (you may need to add more salad dressing and mayo if, once mixed, the potato salad looks too dry; go with an extra 1/2 cup each if too dry). Pour the liquid ingredients over your potato mixture, stir to combine well, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.I need your best recipe for fried chicken or potato salad, or coleslaw, or hamburgers?
for fried chicken you'll need Mrs. Dash Original Blend, Granulated Garlic Powder,Adobo,Sason for Color and Pepper make sure each piece is covered, flour it up and deep fry it, comes out crispy and juicy.
Fried chicken:
Soak your chicken in buttermilk overnight in the refrigerator.
For the flour: season heavily with Lawry's seasoning salt and black pepper. Also, add just a dash of baking soda.
For the grease: Peanut oil works very well, but I am partial to Crisco.
Cookware: Deep fryers are great, but a deep cast iron skillet is tried and true. A deep fat thermometer is also a must.
Preparation:
Take chicken out of fridge and add a few dashes of tobasco to the marinade if you like extra heat.
Heat your oil to 325-350 F. If it gets too hot, it will burn the coating before cooking the chicken all the way through.
Dredge your chicken thoroughly in flour and place skin side down in the frying pan. Start with the breast pieces first, as they take the longest to cook. Fry in batches until the chicken reaches 165 F. The juices should run clear when pricked with a knife. Drain the chicken on wire racks over paper towels.
The next time you make hamburgers, put in wine and worchestershire sauce, garlic powder or minced garlic, pepper, a little salt. Grill them and have sizzle burgers. yum.
I like to use bisquik to coat the chicken and I mix in some mrs. dash with the bisquik. do not egg batter the batter falls of easier and it covers the flavor of the chicken. If you want to make it in a thicker batter you can dip in milk or buttermilk and then batter, I recommend buttermilk.
Southern Potato salad has potatoes (peeled, chopped and boiled) eggs, dill pickle relish, onion, pimento mayo and mustard.
Coleslaw, shred a whole head of cabbage, start water to boil with white vinegar, a dash of sugar and a dash of salt toss cabbage in and leave in for only a minute or less as to not really cook the cabbage but to season, and never use coleslaw dressing, its disgusting.
burgers, just becareful not to add to much of any liquid or they will fall apart, and you will be fine

Best 'tater Salad (Potato Salad) Recipe
This one is either for serving up the family reunion (to impress the heck out of the kinfolk), or, to hoard all for yourself. I LOVE 'tater salad sandwiches and this version of the old standby is my pick. I credit my mom (gone now) with having developed the recipe. I'm sure that her own grandmother and step-mom had their finger in this one too. Of course, I had to tweak it a bit but it's not a lot different from its genesis. A perfect side dish to fried chicken and/or corn on the cob.
6 large eggs, hard-boiled
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
4 tablespoons ranch salad dressing
1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 cup sweet pickle relish, drained
2 stalks celery, diced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon paprika
10 medium new potatoes, boiled
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, scrape off the peelings with a paring knife and, using 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.
NOTE: I do prefer to use Heinz mustard but any regular yellow mustard will do. Also, Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted.
