Name: Potato Salad
Yield: One large bowl
Ingredients: About 2 1/4 pounds potatoes (about 5 large potatoes); Green onions (as much as you like); Pickles (dill or sweet, to taste); Salt and pepper; 1 little vinegar; 1 cup regular mayonnaise (you might need a bit more, adjust to taste); 5 eggs; (Optional: You can also add cheese, deli meats, or veggies like corn or peas. I like it with these extras, but it’s up to your taste.)

This is my mom’s recipe—she’s always changing up her recipes! With just a few ingredients, it’s much lighter, more refreshing, and super easy. It doesn’t have a lot of veggies because we like it better that way, but you really have to try it!!
Just a note: I measured the ingredients by eye to make a big bowl, so I’ll write down exactly what I used this time!

Steps

1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them in water for 30 to 40 minutes with the skins on so they don’t absorb too much water.
2

Boil the eggs as well.
3

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and peel them while they’re still warm to make peeling easier.
4

Cut the potatoes into pieces in a large bowl. (I cut each potato in half, then each half in half again, then into smaller pieces so everything mixes well.)
5

Chop the green onions (use as much as you like). I used almost half a jar of pickles. Add plenty of salt (potatoes need it), plenty of pepper, and a splash of vinegar.
6

Add the mayonnaise. Gently mix so the potatoes don’t get mushy, but make sure everything is coated.
Once mixed, chop the eggs and add them in, then continue mixing.
At this point, taste and add anything you think is missing. I usually add two more tablespoons of mayonnaise.
7

Give it one last mix, transfer to a container with a lid, and it’s ready.
