A Really Simple Potato Salad Food

FAST AND EASY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the eyes and blemishes off the potatoes. Skin them if you prefer but I think they're delicious and they're definitely more nutritional!
• Rinse the potatoes and place them in the microwave undried.
• Microwave the potatoes (three at a time if you're making a double or triple recipe for the whole family or a potluck) spaced evenly apart on HIGH for THREE MINUTES.
• Chop your green onions. Chop your pickle and eggs if desired.
• Flip the potatoes over (careful, they're hot!) and microwave on HIGH for THREE MINUTES more.
• Mix the mayo, spices, onions, and optional pickle and eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
• Let the potatoes rest in the microwave for a few minutes (they will continue to cook).
• Test the doneness of the potatoes with a knife or fork by piercing into the center of each one. If the knife does not go in smoothly or there is resistance, repeat the microwaving process above in increments of ONE MINUTE.
• Place the cooked potatoes immediately into a bowl of cold water. Let cool for a few minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces (usually halves and then eights will do) - careful, they may still be hot inside.
• Mix potatoes with sauce mixture, and enjoy!

SIMPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set up your mise en place. That means getting everything together. You'll need a medium-sized bowl, a rubber spatula, a medium saucepan (big enough for the potatoes), three knives, a fork, vegetable peeler, 1/4 teaspoon, and 1 cup.
• Clean and boil the potatoes until al dente (almost done), meaning they fork tender, but the center is still a little solid. Drain, peel, dice, and add to bowl.
• Peel and dice eggs and pickles, and add to bowl.
• Add mayo to bowl, mixing well. Add salt, pepper, and paprika and mix well. The paprika should give salad nice orange-ish coloring. Chill, serve, and enjoy!

SIMPLE, TASTY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, with skins on, until just tender. Drain and let cool.
• When potatoes are cooled, peel and cut into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl.
• Coarsely chop eggs. Add eggs and pickle chunks to potatoes.
• Gently toss in mayonnaise. (Start with less mayo, and add more as needed to obtain consistency you prefer.) Be sure to toss lightly to avoid breaking up the potato too much.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Also add onion, if using. Stir gently again, just to combine.
• At our house, we usually serve a small bowl of onion on the side so people can add as much as they like, or none at all.

SIMPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool.
• Peel the eggs and cut around the egg white; keep the yolk whole.
• Dice the egg whites and potatoes. Combine in a mixing bowl and add the salad dressing.
• Toss the potatoes and egg; crumble the egg yolk on top and serve chilled.

SUPER SIMPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Once potatoes are cooled, peel and coarsely chop.
• In large bowl combine potatoes, eggs, onion, pickles, olives, and celery; mix well.
• Add mayonnaise 1/2 cup at a time. Mix well until desired texture.
• Add mustard to taste.
• Add Tabasco to taste.
• Chill 30 minutes to overnight.
• Enjoy.

REALLY GOOD, SIMPLE, FRESH POTATO SALAD- NO MUSTARD- NO RELISH

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, Boil in salted water until tender.
• Hard boil eggs, peel, chop. (obviously lol).
• Finely chop onion.
• *1-2 ribs of finely diced celery is nice, but was not in the original recipe.
• A dash of garlic powder or garlic salt is nice too.
• Judge the amount of Mayo to your taste and # of potatoes, but do add it until it is nice and creamy.
• Mix all ingredients together when warm, serve fresh with-out chilling, if you can, it is good chilled too, but particularly creamy when warm-to room temperature.
• It is also best to use the hardboiled eggs right after cooking, it's ok if they are slightly cooled from peeling, but best in this, if they are freshly cooked.
• Most of the prep time is attributed to the peeling and chopping of the potatoes.
• *Of course, because of the Mayo you won't want to leave it out too long.
• I have also heard (unknown it it's true, but I never take the chance) not to serve anything that has Mayo in it, with Sterling Silver servers.

A REALLY SIMPLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes first, and then boil in water for 30-40 minutes, or until soft. Let cool, before cubing them.
• In a large bowl combine the potatoes with the peas, carrots, and pickled.
• In a smaller bowl combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, salt and pepper to taste, basil and oregano. (If you think the horseradish is a little too much, use a little less. I use 1 tablespoon because that is my taste preference).
• Add the mayonnaise mixture a little at a time and mix well. If you like it to be creamier make a little more mayonnaise.
• Serve chilled.
