I really hate onions so I rarely use them when I cook. Well, that's not exactly true...if a recipe calls for cooked onions, I will cut them over-sized and suate' them with the other vegetables. I pull the onions out of the mix before I add the other vegetables to my dish so I get the great flavor without having to put up with the nasty texture. Eating a cooked onion is a lot like eating a slimy worm (in my humble opinion) so I won't do it. When it comes to raw onions, I would rather live without the taste and that "bug on the sidewalk" crunch that raw onions add to any dish. Yuck!
Anyway, recent studies are saying that onions absorb air-born bacteria. Thi means that the mayonnaise may not have been the culpret at all those afternoon picnic poisoninings. It may have been the onion all along. So my potato salad is not only tasty but may well save your life!
Potato Salad (minus onions)
Potatoes (about 6)
Hard boiled eggs (6-8)
2 stalks Celery
1 t. Celery Seed
1 t. Parsley
Dash Pickle Juice
½ t. Dried mustard
1 C Milk
½ C Mayonnaise
Paprika
Directions:
Boil potatoes (whole and unpeeled). While potatoes are cooling, mix mayo and milk until it is the consistency of Elmer’s glue. Add chopped celery, celery seed, pickle juice, parsley, and dill to taste to mayonnaise mixture. Add Salt and pepper to taste. Peel, cube, and place potatoes in large bowl. Chop all but 2 of the hard boiled eggs into bite size pieces and add to potatoes. Slice the other 2 eggs and set aside. Pour mayonnaise mixture over potatoes and toss gently. Top with remaining eggs and sprinkle paprika on top. Refigerate.
