The chicken is good....The potato salad is even better
I whipped up this quick and easy potato salad a few nights ago, to cure my carb cravings. I had some leftover fried chicken from dinner the night before and I needed something simple to go with it.
After all, on a Saturday night I didn't really feel like doing the whole big meal. This classic family recipe is creamy, eggy, and kind of sweet and salty at the same time.
Quick And Easy Potato Salad
Ingredients
- 4 Large/ 6 medium Potatoes (I used eastern white)
- 2 large eggs (boiled and chopped)
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tsp brown mustard
- 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1/8 cup diced onion (I used red)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
*Fill a pot with cold water. Put on low/medium heat.
- Peel, dice & boil potatoes to firm but fork tender. Salt water.
- Let Potatoes cool.
- Run cold water over them for a few seconds to stop the cooking process.
- They should be lukewarm after cooling a bit.
Chop boiled eggs, and onions. Set aside.
Add salt and pepper to potatoes (season to taste)
Add mayo, mustard and pickle relish.
Mix gently to not break up potatoes too much .
Add chopped onions and eggs
Mix a second time.
Seasoning check again to make sure there's enough salt and pepper.
Garnish with paprika, and you are done.
When you scoop it out...It looks like this....Yummy!
That's it. Takes less than an hour from start to finish.
Chill in the refrigerator for a good hour and Bon Apetit :)
