American Potato Salad | Quick Salads with Video

Growing up, I always came home to delicious food every day. My mom will always be the best cook to me.. I admit during my teenage years, I was quite fussy with food.. I had a lot of things that I didn’t appreciate as much as I do now.  She always seemed to have time to fix me something that I liked. On the occasion that she would not be home when I came home, she would leave me something in the fridge. I would cleanup and hurry to find out what was in there for me. Cold Potato Salad was one of my favorites. I could have this just on its own or with some of her yummy chicken. This salad is a great side any day! Filling you up well till your next meal.

Ingredients:

• 5 large potatoes (Waxy potatoes are preferred over starchy ones for salads like this. Think Fingerling or All purpose instead of Russet).

• 3 Tbsp celery leaves, finally chopped
• 2 Tbsp pickled relish OR pickled gherkins, finely chopped

• 10-15 Tbsp mayonnaise ( as needed)
• 2 tsp original english prepared mustard (Colemans) – I find this much better
• than American mustard.
• ¼ tsp pepper
• salt to taste

Method:

• First of all, boil potatoes in their skin (with light cut all around the centre for easy peeling later), till tender. Allow to cool and peel. Dice and set aside.
• Boil eggs, peel and dice.
• Add the diced potato and egg to a bowl. Add all other ingredients.
• Add enough mayonnaise to just coat the potatoes.
