Southern Potato Salad

Potato salad is a universal dish that is loved by all
so be sure to cook up some for your next barbecue,
picnic, birthday party or Sunday dinner.
Here is a basic Southern potato salad recipe.

Ingredients:
1 – pound red potato
1 – hard boiled egg, finely chopped
1 – large celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 – cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/8 – teaspoon yellow mustard

Directions:
As always, the key to great cooking is to be
prepared and to use quality ingredients.
Start of by rinsing potatoes thoroughly under running water.
While rinsing, gently scrub potatoes to remove dirt.
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover
with at least two inches of cold water.
Bring water to rolling boil and cook potatoes until tender.
Don’t allow the water to boil out.
Once potatoes are done remove from heat,
pour out water and allow to cool before peeling.
Go ahead and clean your large pot because
you will use it later to mix up your potato salad.
Place eggs into a small pot, add cold water
and bring to boil over medium-high heat.
Cook eggs until done. Remove eggs from heat,
add cold water and allow to cool before chopping.
Now that the potatoes have cooled, peel them and
mash them up one at a time into your large pot.
Add celery, eggs, onion, mayonnaise and mustard.
Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly.
Start with the exact measurements
and adjust to your desired taste, if necessary.
If you must go ahead and add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the combined mixture into a suitable size bowl with lid.
Cover and refrigerate. Serve potato salad cold.
