The Greatest Potato Salad

Ever get a craving for some awesome potato salad and either don't know how to make some or know that store bought isn't great??

I went to a get together this Sunday at my church and I decided to bring my potato salad.
Have you ever been to a get together and just know that your potato salad would be awesome with the rest of the food?? That was my thoughts this time. I knew it would be great to bring..especially since there are always like 4 or 5 other potato salads and they are either store bought with corn and green beans or someones creation of potatoes and mayo. No thought or creativity at all. Why would you want to eat bland potato salad. It would put you off potato salad for a very long time if not the rest of your life and that one awesome side would be missing from great tasting BBQ for ever.

If you guys would like to try a really great recipe then why not try mine the next time you BBQ or whenever you want some potato salad.

Ingredients:

5lbs (2kg) of potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into small cubes. You can cut them as you choose.

1/4 cup White wine vinegar

2 cups of Mayo

3 ribs of celery (about 1 cup finely chopped)

1/2 cup pickle mustard UK, in the US sweet pickle relish

1/3 cup minced red onion

1/4 cup parsley leaves

1 1/2 tsp celery seed

1 tsp powdered mustard

Black pepper

4 Hard boiled eggs, peeled and cut (if you choose)

What you want to do is wash, peel and cut potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large pot cover by inch of water, add a little salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling simmer for about 6-8mins (till you can slip a knife into and out of the center of the potato without resistance).

While the potatoes are simmering. You can boil the eggs (if you are having them) for about 7-8 mins. The potatoes and eggs will be done at the same time. While the potatoes and eggs are cooking place the rest of the ingredients (minus the vinegar) in a boil and mix.

Once the potatoes are done drain them. Place potatoes into a boil and add the 1/4 cup of vinegar. Let the potatoes cool down for about 20 mins. During this time you can peel your eggs and cut them how you want and add them to the mix if you choose. Once the potatoes have cooled mix into potatoes. Then place in the fridge for about an hour before serving.

If you have any questions let me know.

ENJOY :)

Serves 6-8

@joebe Well I what I do when I cant BBQ is just marinate some chicken breast with a glaze of some sort. Then cover with BBQ on both sides and grill in the oven for 25mins on 350F, turning half way through. Its really good that way. I will put a proper recipe up eventually :)
