Now, here’s where the magic happens:
Step 1: Potato Peeling Party Start by washing and peeling 6-8 potatoes. It’s like preparing for a marathon of dad jokes – you gotta be patient. Cut those spuds in half, and toss ’em in a pot to boil. Boil for about 25 minutes, or until they’re as tender as your heart during those sappy family movie nights.
Step 2: Egg-xtra Care Boil 2-3 more eggs than you have potatoes. Why? Well, we’re about to give those eggs some TLC. Once the water is dancing in the pot, set a timer for 13 minutes. Then, move the egg party to the sink, let cold running water embrace them for another 13 minutes, Yep, we’re all about the number 13 here. Let ’em chill out and cool for yet another 13 minutes – this will make the peeling process a breeze. This secret method ensures egg-peeling perfection.
Step 3: Chop ‘n Mix Drain those potatoes and toss them into a bowl. Then, dice up those eggs into bite-sized pieces. Now, the mayonnaise comes into play. Add it until your salad reaches the creamy consistency that satisfies your soul. Sprinkle some salt and pepper in there, too, because seasoning is like the punchline to this recipe.
Step 4: Chill Vibes Pop your potato salad masterpiece in the fridge until it’s ready to serve. The colder it gets, the better it tastes, just like a cool mom’s advice.
Feel free to add your own twist to this recipe. Onions for extra flavor? Go for it! Mustard, like your husband insists? Well, he’s part of the family, too, so why not?
So, there you have it, the Simply Plain Potato Salad with a dash of family humor and a pinch of relatability. Feel free to customize it with onions, mustard, or any other secret family ingredients. Enjoy the laughter, love, and delicious bites around your table, just like all those unforgettable family gatherings. Cheers to good food and even better company!
