OZARKS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Remove the peels and cut into cubes. Set aside to cool completely.
• In a large bowl, mix together the onion, salad dressing and mustard. Stir in the hard-cooked eggs and cooled potatoes. Try not to mash the potatoes very much. Season with salt and pepper.

FRIED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the fryer to a paper towel lined sheet tray to drain. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• While the potatoes are frying, mix together the mustard, mayonnaise, dill, and capers in a small bowl.
• Add the fried potatoes to a large serving bowl. Toss in the red onion and celery, then gently fold in the mayonnaise dressing. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed, and serve.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATO SALAD

• Fry the potatoes (in batches if necessary) in hot oil until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl.
• Gently fold in warm potatoes and coat with mixture, being careful not to break the potatoes.
• Serve immediately.
