The holidays came and went and with it some of our favorite family recipes! One of my favorites is my grandmother’s potato salad which is a must have at EVERY family function— holiday or no holiday! Below you will find my family recipe for potato salad (a favorite for all!) Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• Potatoes
• red onions
• white vinegar
• salt
• pepper
• eggs
• Hellman’s mayonnaise (yes we specify in my house!)
• extra virgin olive oil

Directions

• Dice whole onion nice and small and then pickle them in a bowl with white vinegar and place in the refrigerator.

• Now boil potatoes and once the water begins to boil, add eggs (at room temperature!) into the water. Boil eggs for 15 minutes for perfect hard boiled eggs

• Remove eggs after the 15 minutes

• Check the potatoes and make sure that they are cooked through but not too soft (we’re not making mashed potatoes! We want some lumps… but cooked ones!)

• Peel eggs and dice eggs up really small

• Drain water from the potatoes and let cool for a little bit before you begin to peel them

• Use a rag to hold the hot potatoes while you peel the potatoes and dice them up small

• Now add the diced up eggs and onions leaving behind the vinegar. Lightly mix adding some of the vinegar, salt and pepper along the way.

• Add mayonnaise and continue to mix.

• Season to taste if anything is missing and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil at the end.

• Chill and serve cold. ENJOY!!!
