Classic Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes, either russet or other white potato, peeled and cut into quarters or smaller depending on the size of the potato
  • 1 medium onion, chopped fine
  • 3-4 hard boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard, or to taste
  • pickles diced (optional)
  • crumbled crispy bacon (optional)

Directions

  1. Peel and cut potatoes.
  2. After peeling and cutting the potatoes boil them until they are just tender, be careful not to overcook the potatoes or you will have mushy potato salad.
  3. Once the potatoes are boiled and cooled, chop the onions and hard boiled eggs.
  4. Next add as much mayonnaise and mustard as you see fit.

***The secret to making great potato salad is to experiment until you find the perfect proportions for your personal taste.  Adding crispy crumbled bacon adds a bit of smokey, salty goodness.
