Potato Salad

The great Garrison Keillor opines that no one should buy potato salad from the store -- everyone should know how to make it. And he's right, potato salad is so dead easy that it can be done by anyone.

Ingredients



  • 2 large potatoes, peeled, 1/2 inch cubes

  • 2 jumbo eggs, hard boiled*

  • 1/4 cup diced celery

  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish

  • 1-2 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 4 tbsp mayo or Miracle Whip

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • a dash of paprika

  • a dash of curry powder



Directions



  1. boil potatoes until soft but firm (about 20 minutes). Rinse in cool water.

  2. mash eggs

  3. Drain potatoes (they should be no more than room temperature)

  4. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and thoroughly mix together. Cover and refridgerate until ready to use (at least 2 hours).



* I hope someone has told everyone how to hard boil an egg!
