Potato Salad with a Twist!


So I took a week off.. sorry about that. But I've been cooking and now I'm here to share some of my conquests with you once again! Potato salad is something that mom craves a lot, so I found some good looking taters on sale and bought a whole bag! I had every intention of just making plain ol' salad, but we got to thinking, and this is what we came up with! Try it if it sounds good to you and let me know what you think.. and if it doesn't sound good to you, you should make it anyway.. it's summertime! There is no better time for tater salad, people!!! ;)


Potato Salad

4 servings


4 medium russet potatoes

2 tbsp mayo

1 tbsp yellow mustard

1 tbsp Dijon (or other spicy) mustard

1 green onion

2 hand fulls raisins

salt/pepper/garlic to taste

2-4 hard boiled eggs (optional, and depending on how much egg you like)


boil potatoes until desired tenderness. remove from water and add eggs to that water and bring back to boil. once at rolling boil, cover, turn off heat and let sit for twenty minutes. I promise, they will be perfectly boiled! while eggs are cooking, peal potatoes if you like, but we prefer with skins on! dice into bite size pieces and add to bowl. add mayo, mustards and seasonings. add diced green onion and raisins and stir together. once eggs have cooled, peel, dice and add to mixture. i recommend making at least an hour ahead of serving time (or possibly even over night) so that all flavors have time to meld together and raisins plump back up from the bit of dressing this makes.


P.S. We served with toasted tuna sandwiches for a super light summer dinner and it was fantastic! Enjoy and make it e-Sally!
