How to Make 7Th Inning Stretch Layered Potato Salad

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil (about 4 minutes).
  4. Pour the egg mixture into a medium bowl and let it cool slightly.
  5. Whisk in 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cover and refrigerate the dressing until well-chilled (at least 2 hours).
  7. Meanwhile, cook 2 pounds of peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a large saucepan of simmering salted water over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Drain the potatoes well and let them cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  10. In a large clear bowl, layer the ingredients as follows: potatoes, celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs (if using the cooked eggs from step 3-4, chop these and add to layer), chilled dressing, green onions, and sunflower seeds.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
