Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - luvnit - 06-18-2012 I have been trying to make a recipe called Charlie's Cafe Exceptionale Potato Salad (famous Twin Cities restaurant of days gone by). The restaurant does not exsist anymore, but the potato salad legend lives on. It calls to make a homemade mayo. I am using my stick blender and thought this was supposed to be 'easy', but mine keeps breaking. Is it supposed to be that way? I looked at a youtube video and it looked thick and creamy to me. I have made 3 batches and I am running out of dry mustard. Can anyone tell me if there is a trick, or technique I need to try? I will give it one more go, otherwise I will be using Hellman's Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - cjs - 06-18-2012 Add about a teaspoon of water and whisk like h*ll. Add an additional one or two if it doesn’t come right back. good luck. Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - DFen911 - 06-18-2012 I use the emersion blender helps a lot. Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - Lorraine - 06-18-2012 I make mine in the food processor. Jean's hint should work. Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - cjs - 06-18-2012 Well, what happened???? Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - luvnit - 06-18-2012 Hellmans! I could not get a mayo to not 'break'. However If you want me to review this recipe I can do that by saying the potatoes were so perfect. They were cooked in the jacket until the Jacket burst. Then you cool them to room temp, dice. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the potatoes. Then gently toss with other ingredients. The potatoes were so tender, and fluffy. Not like any other potato salad we have ever had. Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - Gourmet_Mom - 06-18-2012 I'd love to hear more. Maybe making mayo will be something I try this summer! Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - DFen911 - 06-18-2012 Um...what were the other ingredients? Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - losblanos1 - 06-18-2012 Here's a recipe for mayonnaise. It looks like Lorraine is correct on using a food processor. Re: Homemade Mayo - Help!!! - luvnit - 06-18-2012 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunatly my food processor is broken.
