This Is The Question: 

Why use Red Potatoes when making Potato Sald?

Here Are The Answers:

  • Red Potatoes are perfect when making potato salad because they have thin skins, they don’t need to be peeled
  • Red Potatoes are high in fiber which makes your potato salad a very healthy side dish
  • Red Potatoes will add color to your potato salad
  • Red Potato Salad can be a “make ahead” recipe

How To Make Red Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds of red potatoes, cubed but not peeled
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4-6 stalks of celery, diced
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise (or more if your not on a diet)
  • 3 tablespoons of parsley
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

Directions

  1. In a large pot put in potatoes and cover with water. Boil the potatoes until fork tender. Do not overcook the potatoes. You want cooked cubed potatoes–Not potatoes that are going to end up mashed.
  2. When fork tender, drain the water and refrigerate potatoes in a large bowl until cool.
  3. You are draining the water and refrigerating to stop the cooking process.
  4. When cooled, add the onion, celeray and eggs. Gently (I said gently) mix in the mayonnaise, parsley, salt & pepper, oil & vinegar.
  5. Place back in the fridge and cool before serving.
