Answer 2

Here is my favorite recipe for potato salad. I vary
this recipe from time to time based upon my mood and
encourage you to do the same.

Ingredients:

4 large baking potatoes.
1/4 white or yellow onion (optional)
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup mayonaise
4 oz sweet relish
paprika


Boil the potatoes until they are done but not overcooked
I use the test here where I stick the fork in and it
meets a little resistance but not too much. How long
you boil them depends upon how big they are. You do want
the potatoes done though since no further cooking is
involve. If you overcook them, they don't really hurt
the recipe since the extra potatoe just mixes in with
the creamy portion of the mixture.

Boil the eggs over medium high heat until hard boiled.

Allow the potatoes and eggs to cool. You can run cold water
over them in a strainer to speed up the process.

Peel the potatoes and then slice into chunks. If you aim
for 1 inch by 1 inch chunck you will do well.

Peel and slice the egg into 1/2 inch pieces.

Chop the onion into very small pieces. I made this optional
because you WILL be able to smell the onion on your breath.
Therefore, if a little close contact is planned anytime soon
you probable want to leave the onion out.

Stir all ingredients gently except for the paprika.

After all ingredients are well mixed, pour into a bowl.
Add the parika across the top. Store in the refrigerator
until ready to serve.

This stuff is awesome!

Answer 3

Serves four.

For the lemon & honey dressing..
5 tablespoons of sunflower oil
1 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of clear honey
salt and ground black pepper

For the salad..
750g (1lb 10oz) small new potatoes
2 sticks of celery
2 small red-skinned desert apples
6 stems of fresh chives.

For the dressing, put the oil, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper into a jar which has a screw top. Shake it well.

Scrub the potatoes. Boil them for about 15 minutes, until they are cooked. Drain them and cut them in half.

Put the potatoes in a large bowl and pour half of the dressing over them while they are still warm. Leave them to cool.

Wash the celery and slice it into thin slices. Cut the apples into quarters and cut out the cores. Cut the apples into small chunks.

Using kitchen scissors, snip the chives into small pieces. Add the celery, apples and chives to the bowl. Mix everything well.

Answer 4

Peel about 3 to 6 pounds of potatoes (I use Idaho big ones) put in plastic ziplock bag leaving one end open. Bake for 10 mins in nuke until soft but still firm. Depending on size may have to nuke another 5 ot 6 mins - let cool in bag

2 to 4 Boiled eggs chopped

Half cup mayonnaise (Hellmans)
1 tablespoon mustard (I use Dijon)

Here you can vary things (pick what you like from the list):

Chopped celery
bacons bits (not the kind from the bottle)

Grated yellow cheese (sharp is best)
3 or 4 tablespoons Dill or Sweet pickle relish (depends if you like sweet or sour)
Pimentos chopped
Olives (green or black) chopped
Green pepper chopped
onion finely chopped (sweet, purple or white)
Scallions (green onions) chopped
Cilantro chopped
Basil chiffonade
Dill weed
Poppy seeds
Feta cheese
oregano
olive oil
Parmesan cheese finely grated
roasted chopped red or green peppers
celery seed
Beau Monde seasoning
Cracked pepper - Kosher salt
You can put in any herbs you like
You can use just Olive oil or corn oil and leave out the mayonnaise if you wish.
I use Zatarain's Creola seasoning but any Cajun or Creole seasoning works fine.

If you do not like spices or spicy then just put salt and pepper.

Answer 5

i admire potato salad with chopped stressful boiled eggs. it rather is form of the best of the two mixed, and that i come across greater human beings will consume potato salad over purely egg salad. Potato salad additionally seems to pair greater useful with greater dishes besides for my section.

Nice optional extras:

Another one I like is just warm new pots with a simple vinagrette
1 part vinegar
3 - 4 parts olive oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper
Optional extras:
fresh herb of your choice
capers (lovely especially if served with fish)
spring onions
cooked green beans (sounds weird but tastes amazing!)

Simple Potato Salad for Two

2 yukon gold potatoes, medium to large sized
3 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup finely diced onions (to taste)
1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon celery seeds (to taste)
salt and pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise (estimate)

1. Scrub the potatoes and place in water to cover. Bring to a boil and then cover the pan and lower heat to simmer for about 25 - 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart to the touch (but a little overcooked is better than having an uncooked spot in the middles). You can cool the potatoes some by putting them in cold water for about a minute or two.
2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into cubes or chunks or quarter slices and put them in a bowl.
3. Sprinkle vinegar over poatoes.
4. Dice up to of the eggs and add. Slice the third and reserve to make decoration for the top of the salad.
5. Add onions, seasonings and the mayonnaise and stir until well incorporated.
6. Decorate top of salad with reserved eggs.
7. Chill to blend all flavors, but also tastes good slightly warm right after you make it!

Answer 8

.everyone seems to like my potato salad..I do not have the exact portions ...I use red potatoes but u can use what is on hand...peel wash and cut into bite size pieces.put into a pot of boiling water with some salt added enuf to cover..now it depends on how many your going to feed as to how many to cook...I generally say 1\2-1 per person...now donot over cook you want to take them off just as they are soft enuf for a small knife to stick into with out falling apart....drain them into a colander right into the sink.gently shake out the water and let cool...In a medium sized mixing bowl add mayonnaise.okay remember you can add too you can not take out so lets say start out with 2c.mayo I use dill pickle juice about a Tbls.or you can use vinegar,2tsp. dry mustard or you can use prepared I use both depending on my mood just start out small a little sqeeze out of the bottle should be good. whisk together.1 small onion diced 4 hard boiled eggs diced a little fresh minced garlic 3-6 diced dill pickles depends on how you like it and how big the pickles are..you can add more later add to mayo and fold. put the cooled potatoes into a large bowl fold in mayo a little at a time you may have too much or not enuf at this point..so go ahead and start incorperating in small amounts when you decide if its too dry add a little more mayo and dill juice untill you get the right consistency ..add salt and pepper to taste.Now this is where you can get creative you can add diced red or green peppers,olives.chives, paprika.waterchestnuts, almonds, cayanne, jalepenos , or whatever you like.or not good luck have fun keep in fridge untill you serve I garnish with paprika and fresh parsly or dried whatever you have on hand.The idea when making this is getting the mayo portion right you will have to experiment.and depending how much spuds you use will determine the amounts of egg,onion mustard you use..I usually cook 6-8 hard boiled eggs just in case I need more and if not I stick em in the fridge and use them later. I scribble on the shells so i know they are hard boiled.
