MoonFisher answered Wednesday September 15 2004, 4:51 pm: To make it easier, I peel and then dice the potatoes BEFORE boiling them. Boil them until soft and then run them under cool water in a strainer. I add some sliced up hard boiled egg, chopped celery, relish, dill pickle, green onion, black or green olives, pimentos if you like them and then add mayo until I get the right consistency. Then add a little squirt of mustard and stir until the color looks just right. Then I add some pepper and garlic salt, and some folks sprinkle red pepper or paprika on top.

followtheformat answered Saturday August 7 2004, 4:50 pm: Peel potatos. Boil til soft. Drain the water. Cut up potatos and mix mayonnaise and some mustard in. Cut up dill (or sweet) pickles and add. Hardboil eggs. Peel shells and dice eggs. Add. My mom puts in paprika and pepper. You can either chill or eat warm. I prefer warm potato salad. But that's just me.

DruidX answered Saturday August 7 2004, 7:37 am: First you need to cook some new potatoes, you don't have to peal them, just wash.
While they are cooking, mix up some mayonase with some herbs [mixed will do, but things like parsly, basil and thyme if you have them].
Mix up enough so that when you mix them with the potatoe, the potato will be covered faily generiously.
When the potatoes are done, strain them off and rinse with cold water to ge the tempariture down.
Then cut them into halves, or quaters depending on how fine you like them, or how big they are.
Then simply mix the mayonase and the potatoes together untill all the potato is covered and leave in the frige to chill. [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
