Potato salad

The holiday weekend is upon us and all of us are looking for great recipes to help make it special for our families. This potato salad is easy and will be a huge hit with you and your family. It reminds me of a time when my grandma was cooking and baking for all of us.

What you will need-
8 medium sized potatoes, I like to use red potatoes
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of olive oil
Salt to taste, I like to use seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped, optional
1-1/4 cup of real mayonnaise
3 tablespoons of cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of mustard

How to make-
Boil quartered potatoes just until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and as soon as you can handle them without burning yourself, peel and dice. Toss with lemon juice, olive oil and salt (the flavor is better when they have this preliminary dressing while the potatoes are still warm, thus coated, they won't absorb as much mayonnaise). Cool. Add pepper, celery, optional eggs. Blend 1 cup of mayonnaise with the cider vinegar and mustard, then toss over potato salad, gently folding until all pieces are coated. If the seem a little dry, add more mayonnaise. Place in large bowl, refrigerate until time to serve.

This will be an instant family favorite that even the kids will love. Great cooking and baking. Click the ads for more great ideas.
