This recipe I got from my Mom. it has always been a family favorite. My Mom always makes whatever we want for our birthday dinner, my Dad always chooses ham, with hot potato salad on the side.
2 lbs of potatoes cubed
6 boiled egg yolks
3 sweet pickles chopped small to fine
1 small onion chopped small to fine
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 cup of milk (depends on how thick you like your mashed potatoes)
salt and pepper to taste
*I use red potatoes they seem to hold up well in the boiling process.*
Cover your cubed potatoes about 1/2 inch above the potatoes with water, I add about 1 tbsp of salt and a tsp of oil. Bring to a boil, then turn down to med. Once they are fork tender drain. Turn burner down to low,and put them back in the pot and put back on the burner, putting them back on the burner will evaporate any excess water left on he potatoes. Mash your potatoes adding the butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Once the potatoes are to your taste add the chopped onion, pickle, and egg yolks, blend well. Serve hot and enjoy!
