i know a few potato recepies?
Well first you need to know if they are big , heavy ,people cause you will need more than 80 potatoes. Then you need to know if they are all coming, also it would be helpful to find out who does not like potatoes, and who wants french fries , and who is on the scarsdale diet. Alfter all of this use the recipe you would use for your family of four and either make it twenty times or order out. Excuse me I have to go eat my salad now, suddenly got a craving for potatoe salad.
Figure one potato per person
Boil peeled potatoes
Allow to cool, then refrigerate
In a bowl, mix mayo with 1/2 as much vinegar as the mayo, add salt, pepper... You will probably be doing this several times, due to the size of the order. Therefore, you'll be using several bowls and repeating the process.
Things you can add (optional):
Hard boiled eggs (1 for every 2 potatoes)
Chopped Onions
Chopped Celery
Mustard (not too much, particularly if you've used vinegar)
most anything people like in potato salad (e.g., black olives, bell peppers, etc.)
Refrigerate...do not allow this to stay at room temperature for any length of time. Also, cover.
Before bringing to the party, your salad will probably need more salt (salt seems to vanish after refrigeration).
Good luck...I make it often for barbecues, but not usually for 80 people :)
This actually serves 100 but what the heck - everyone loves potato salad! Or you can just cut it down a bit...
30 lbs. potatoes
4 c. chopped onions
7 1/2 c. chopped celery
30 hard boiled eggs
Dressing:
6 tbsp. salt or to taste
2 tbsp. pepper
2 qts. mayonnaise
2 qts. Miracle Whip
Cook potatoes until tender. Cool. Peel and cut up. Add onions, celery, and eggs. Mix dressing ingredients together and stir into potato mixture.
Refrigerate overnight to let flavors blend.
You'll need to know how many ounces to give your guests. Are you serving or is it a buffet where they can get their own. Allow 4-6 oz per guest to be on the safe side. You'll need about 18-20 lbs of potato's. Boil or bake until soft but a little firm. Add chopped up hard boiled egg's(8-10), celery,onions,mayo and mustard to taste. You can leave the skins on or off. also you can use Baby Red Potatos if desired. There are many different free recipe sites to search for potato salad. You just have to adjust the recipe and multiply the servings to reach 80 servings. I've cooked for over 300 people by myself so feel free to contact me anytime.It's very stressful sometimes but it's not as bad as you think. Plan ahead,stay on time and everything will turn out fine!
