Potato Salad

I love any dish made with potatoes! Potatoes au gratin, mashed potatoes, potato skins, baked potato soup, stuffed potatoes, potato ragout, potato salad, French fries… you get the picture. The recipe below is one for potato salad. I like using Dijon mustard and sweet relish in mine. I also added a little mayonnaise in this version, but the recipe tastes just fine without it.

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 Idaho potatoes
½ red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sweet relish
¼ cup mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large pot, cover potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat.

2. Allow to simmer for about 30 minutes, until tender.

3. Remove from pot, and allow potatoes to cool.

4. Remove potato skins, and cut into small cubes.

5. Place cut potatoes in to a large bowl, and add mayonnaise, relish, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly.

6. Mix in red bell pepper, chives, scallions, and boiled egg.

7. Add kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
