I recently ate at Ruby Tuesdays and fell in love with their potato salad from their salad bar. It was just so tasty! The potatos were cut up into small cubes and had some of the skins left on them.
I used to work at Ruby's years ago and they didn't use the store bought kind. It was made in house. Man was that good! I gained some serious weight eating that. It's been about 10 years but the secret was using both mustard and mayo, hard boiled eggs and bacon bits. As for the rest of it...... use the typical stuff. Onions, celery..
Ruby Tuesday's Potato Salad Recipe
8-10 brown potatoes
2 Cm
1 C ranch dressing
few Tbsp yellow mustard
1 Tbsp pepper
1 Tbsp salt
1/4 C chopped celery
1/4 C chopped green peppers
1/4 C chopped boiled eggs
Cover potatoes in butter and salt. Bake at 350 F for approx 1 hr. or until soft. Allow potatoes to cool before cutting them up, you can leave the skin on or skin them completely, its really up to you. Add rest of the ingreadients and stir gently so you don't squash your potatoes too much, you want to keep it chunky.
There is a site that gives recipes for some of the national chains. it is www.topsecretrecipes.com. I got the recipe for KFC's cole slaw there. YUM.
I work at Ruby Tuesday. It's not made locally, or even by the corporation. It is store-bought. I can check the brand-name if you like.
Yes, can you still find a name for the potato salad? Sure would appreciate. It's yummy.
