Cut spuds small 25mm-1inch cubes and cook them till near done (watch them close or you will over cook). Take them off heat when they have a bit of resistance when you bite them, but not crunchy. drain and sit.

cut up bacon into small bits and fry till crispy, drain

cut up a spring onion or three (chives instead if you like)

mix 50/50 mayo and sour cream

Soft boil a couple of eggs and cut up into small pieces.

mix egg, bacon, onion, sour cream mayo in a bowl, you can also add a bit of dijon mustard. season to taste if you want.

Pour over still warm potatoes and serve warm is good, but cold is good too.

i didn't give quantities because i make as much as i need, half a spud per person is a fair amount, but be sure not to put too much dressing on, better to have left over dressing than a salad thats over dressed (imo)

you can play with mayo sour cream ratio depending on what you like.

Again, this is "seat of the pants cooking!'

peel and cut up 4medium potatoes, or more.
Place in a moderately large pot, add water to cover by an inch or two.
Add Salt to taste.
Add at least two eggs, in the shell. If you use more than four medium spuds, add more eggs, use your own judgment.

Bring to a boil over high heat, turn stove down to medium heat and boil for 10-15 minutes.

After ten minutes, check the potatoes for doneness. Add more time until potatoes are cooked tender but not mushy.

Remove now boiled eggs from the pot and set aside.
Drain the potatoes.
Peel the eggs, chop coarsely. return to the potatoes
To the potatoes and eggs, add
4 or 5 TBS Sweet Pickle relish, use more or less according to your own taste.
Add about one half cup mayonnaise, more or less depending on your taste
Add a good squirt, maybe a Tablespoon or so, mustard, plain old yellow mustard works fine
Stir well to mix everything and make sure all the taters get mayo coated.

Taste and add more or anything you think it needs whether salt, pickle relish, mayo or mustard.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the rest of the meal is finished cooking. You can make it a day ahead of time if necessary.

This is the way we do it in our kitchen.
Cut up potatoes 1 inch or so and boil till al dente, do not over cook otherwise it turns to mush
drain potatoes and pour italian dressing over them, toss and put in fridge over night, or chill down faster
Once italian dressing has absorbed add mayo, little mustard, green onion, black olives, celery, hard boiled egg, salt and pepper.

Comes out sooo yummy! If you make the day before it is even better because all the flavors will have time to meld together. You must try :-)

Hey,
I see that you are very passionate about cooking. Not long ago I was all thumbs in the kitchen.
The only thing I could not mess up was boil eggs. But that change when I accidently stumble upon an e-book on the web.
Now I can prepare meal worthy of a restaurant chef and all my friends and guess are always complementing me.
This e-book has helped me a lot; hope it does the same for you.
