CRAZE-E POTATO SALAD BOATS - KID FRIENDLY

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2" cubes. Add to boiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes. Potatoes should be cooked but still firm. Drain, rinse in cold water and allow to cool.
• Steam or boil beans for 3 minutes, or until just cooked but still firm. Rinse in cold water and drain.
• Mix together yogurt, chives plus the salt and pepper if using. Pour onto the potatoes and toss gently. You can also add the boiled egg scraps if you wish. Chill for 30 minute.
• Gently fill the pasta shells with the potato mixture, mounding slightly. Tap on the counter to flatten the bottom so that the 'boats' will sit firmly on a plate.
• Now to decorate:.
• Cut each egg slice in half to form a half moon. Place one piece at the back of the boat, on top of the potato mixture.
• Slice beans lengthwise into two or three strips then cut into 1-1/2" pieces. Use the tip of a sharp knife to bore three holes along each side . Insert the bean strip. These will form the oars. (think Viking Ship).
• Cut the red pepper into small squares and place them on their edges, along both sides of the shell.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the potato mixture.
• Use a long carrot stick as the mast. Weave it through the edge of the lettuce leaf, which will become the sail. Insert into the bed of potato salad.
• Chill until ready to serve.

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!
