SIMPLE POTATO AND EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Place the whole unpeeled potatoes in a pot with plenty of water and a little salt. Cook until soft, about 30-40 minutes depending on size. I usually try to poke a knife through the middle to check for doneness.
• Put the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool them and then proceed to peel them and cut them into small or medium chunks.
• To cook prepare the hard-boiled eggs, bring water to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Then gently add the eggs - one by one using a spoon so they don't break. You can add a teaspoon of baking soda - this helps make it easier to peel them. Let the eggs cook in the boiling water for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl with cold water until you are ready to peel them.
• I recommend saving one of the eggs to use as a garnish for the salad. Peel and then dice the rest of the hard-boiled eggs.
• In a medium bowl or platter, add the chopped potatoes, the chopped hard-boiled eggs, the diced white onion, and the chopped celery.
• To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise (or yogurt) with the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour this dressing on top of the chopped potatoes/eggs and mix well.
• Taste the salad and adjust the amount of salt/pepper to taste. Add the chopped dill and paprika. If you saved one of the hard-boiled eggs, cut it into quarters or slices and use them to decorate the salad. The salad can be served on top of lettuce leaves.
• The salad can be served immediately, or it can be kept in the refrigerator until serving time. Personally, I find that the flavor improves if it is left to rest for a few hours before serving.
