This fresh-tasting potato salad is seasoned with onion
and celery seed. The mayonnaise dressing gets its
sweetness from sugar and whipping cream, and the
tang is from mustard and vinegar.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and cube potatoes. Place in a large bowl. Add the hardcooked eggs, celery, onion, salt and celery seed; set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and
mustard. Stir in cream, egg and vinegar until smooth.
Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture coats the
back of a metal spoon. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until thickened.

3. Remove from the heat; let stand for 20 minutes. Whisk in mayonnaise and butter until smooth. Cool slightly. Pour
over potato mixture; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at
least 6 hours.
