Jello Molded Potato Salad



Jello Molded Potato Salad

Go Festive with this ideal all-season old fashioned potato salad recipe designed to serve a crowd.

Tip: Before unfolding gelatin, rinse platter or plate with cold water so the mold will slide on it. To loosen the mold, run tip of a knife between gelatin and pan edge. Dip the mold just to the rim in warm water, for a few seconds. Place wet platter atop the mold, hold tight, invert quickly. Lift off the pan. Push mold with a spatula, to center it on your platter.

Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 envelope Good Seasons Mild Italian Salad Dressing Mix
  • 4 cups sliced or diced cooked potatoes
  • 2 strips crispy fried bacon, finely crumbled
  • 1 package (3 oz.) Jell-O Lemon Gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 2 cups mayonnaise

    Directions:

    Cook your potatoes, and bacon before beginning the rest of this recipe.

    Combine vinegar and salad dressing mix. Add it to the potatoes and bacon. Chill about 1 hour.

    Dissolve gelatin in boiling water: add the cold water to the gelatin mixture. Blend in the mayonnaise.

    Chill until thickened but not firm. Add potato mixture and chill again this time until firm about- 4 hours. Unmold.

    This makes about 6 cups or 8 servings.

    If you don’t have a ring or individual molds you can use paper cups or a loaf pan, it will give you different effects. Fancy up your platter with curly endive, parsley or your favorite greens, and have the best potato salad recipe at the party. Try adding other nibblers like green or black olives, radish roses, celery sticks to the dish for extra wow.

    Note:

    To hasten chilling, chill the filled mold about 10 minutes in a pan of ice and water before placing in the refrigerator.
