Potato Salad

I've seen it happen many times... You wait till the last minute to make something for the lunch potluck and end up buying the plastic tub of potato salad at the store and put it in your own serving bowl.  Sure, everyone compliments you on how amazing your potato salad is... but deep down they know your little secret as they are choking it down to make you feel better.  They know.  

Don't fall into this trap.  This potato salad is so easy and delicious and you actually have a recipe to back up your dish for when people ask.  You don't even have to peel the potatoes! It's so simple!  I do have to warn that, while I tried to calculate out the measurements... I completely forgot how many potatoes I used.  It's all based on preference anyway.  Just make it to your liking and Enjoy!

Potato Salad

Serves: 8-10 larger portions

Ingredients:

10-15 baby red potatoes (They were medium sized... I'd say about 6 cups chopped, not peeled)

6 ribs celery, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

6 eggs, hard boiled and chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon or honey mustard

2 heaping tablespoons of dried dill (I love dill)

1 tablespoon sugar or honey

splash of milk

dash of paprika

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Add the chopped potatoes to a large pot of boiling water and boil for about 7 minutes until cooked, but still firm.  Nothing worse than a mushy potato salad.  Drain potatoes and run under ice cold water to stop the cooking.

In a large bowl, add the potato, celery and onion.  

Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, sugar, milk, paprika and salt and pepper.  Stir until mixed and add this to the potato, celery, and onion mix.  Stir until combined and then gently stir in the chopped eggs.  Adjust seasonings as desired.  Simple!!
