What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Don't love mayo? No problem! This potato salad recipe uses sour cream mixed with seasonings and a little vinegar instead. It's got the same creamy texture (but without mayonnaise) and lots of tangy flavor. A lot of people don't like mayonnaise in their potato salad so this is a great recipe to serve to a group (everyone will love it!)
3 pounds potatoes, cooked, peeled, and cubed
1 cup diced celery
5 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
4 hard-cooked eggs, sieved or finely grated
1 pint sour cream
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
paprika
Combine the cubed potatoes, celery, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, and the salt in a large bowl.
Gently mix together the eggs, sour cream, remaining vinegar, black pepper, mustard, garlic, and onion. Stir the mixture into the potatoes and mix until coated. Garnish with paprika.
Serve immediately or cover and chill.

This was really good. I used Dijon and green pepper because I had no celery. Will definitely do this again! Saving to Pinterest Thanks much!

This potato salad was great! I liked the little bit of whang from the vinegar, the crunch of celery and onions and the blending of all the ingredients. I will be making this again.
