KATHY'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Cook potatoes tell tender (do not over cook) I use a pressure cooker and I cook them for 10 minutes. Cook eggs, the best way to cook eggs is to put eggs in a stainless steel pot add water, bring the eggs and water to a boil, then turn the heat off, set the timer for 8 minutes then check an egg, if it is not runny but not light yellow, that is how I like them. While the potatoes and eggs are cooking mix the rest of the ingredients, put in the refrigerator.
• 2. After the potatoes and eggs are cooked, cut them up, don't be to picky on how you cut them, this is a lot of salad. Save 2 eggs for the top of the salad. Slice eggs horizontally, Sprinkle with paprika and add green onion or chives for color.
