How do you make homemade potatoe salad?!


Question: How do you make homemade potatoe salad!?
It's ok if your recipe is different than others!. I love trying out different potatoe salads! Thank you :)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
My Standard Recipe:
Cooked, peeled cubed white potatoes
Mayonnaise
Chopped up hard boiled eggs
Celery seed, salt, pepper, then grate an onion to get in only the juice
Adjust all the seasonings to taste and put enough mayo in so it's not too dry!.
Variation on that: my daughter likes when I add a couple teaspoons of plain yellow mustard!. That's good too!.
My favorite is this:
Use red skinned small potatoes - cook them, don't peel them
Mayonnaise
Frozen peas
8-10 slices of cooked bacon crumbled up into it
1/2 cup or more of blue cheese crumbles
salt and pepper to taste
(don't use eggs in this one)
This is fabulous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chopped fresh dill (or dry) to taste - Optional
Lots of salt and pepper!.

Cook unpeeled potatos whole, if small, halved if large in salted water until fork tender, but not mushy!. Let cool completely!. Leave skins on as they provide texture and fiber, unless you prefer them off!.
Cut into cubes, put into bowl and add remaining ingredients mixing well!. Cover well, refrigerate and the next day taste to see if you need more salt and pepper!. I always make extra to eat for a few days after!. This is a Danish inspired recipeWww@FoodAQ@Com

that's an easy one! Boil potatoes, covered, until fork tender; about 40 mins!.( depending on size)!. Drain and let cool!. Boil an egg or two!. Let cool!. Chop some celery, onion, and dill pickles!. Peel your potatoes and cut into bite size pieces, place in large bowl!. Peel the egg(s), i just squish them in my hand to break them up, and throw those in the bowl!. Add the chopped celery, onion, and pickles!. I add a little of the pickle juice at this point, just a splash!. Season with salt and pepper!. Add a couple of T!. of mayo, and about a t!. of mustard; if you need to make it more moist, add a little more of each!. Sprinkle with paprika (optional)!.
