How to Make Homemade Potato Salad

Homemade Potato Salad Recipe

I hope you like today's potato salad recipe. It's another one of my family's favorite side dishes. I now have many of my side dish recipes on the site. Once again, this is great for holidays, picnics or a picnic meal (just cold sides as a meal) or snacking. Make ahead for a refrigerated dish. Let's dig in!

Ingredients

salt
pepper
paprika
4 cups of diced potatoes
mayo
mustard (may be omitted if you don't want a sour potato salad)
3 to 4 boiled eggs
diced onion
dill pickle relish (may substitute with sweet relish)

Directions

Peel and dice 4 cups of potatoes.

Place them in a pot with water. Add salt.

Boil the potatoes until soft (test with a fork from time to time). Salt occasionally as they boil.

Boil 3 or 4 eggs while potatoes are boiling. I set a timer for 25 minutes as soon as I turn on the stove eye to start boiling.
Remove from stove eye after boiling is complete and peel the eggs. See my secret for perfectly peeled boiled eggs in my homemade deviled eggs post.
When soft enough, remove potatoes from stove eye, drain them and place them in a bowl. Hint: these will finish at about the same time as the eggs.

Add a little more salt to the potatoes.
Dice about half of an onion and add on top of the potatoes.

Add 3 or 4 teaspoons of pickle relish on top. Include some of the pickle juice in the spoon as well.
Dice 1 to 2 eggs and put them in the bowl. Hint: you'll need to keep 2 boiled eggs to put on top of the potato salad later.

Mix these ingredients together.

Add mayo for a smooth texture. I do not measure this, so see the picture below as a reference.

Mix well.

Add mustard if you're using mustard. Again, I do not measure this, so see the picture below as a reference. Add a little more mayo if you're not using mustard.

Mix well.
Add more mustard if you need to after a quick taste test.

Mix until all mustard is evenly spread throughout the dish. Otherwise, you'll have a mayo bottom as pictured below.

Slice the 2 remaining eggs lengthwise and place on top of the salad as shown below.

Add pepper.

Add paprika.

And you're finished! Refrigerate for several hours or overnight and serve! I would love to hear what you think after you make any of my recipes. Just drop me a line in the comments section below or via the Contact form on the right.

I hope you have a blessed weekend,

Patricia

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...

Charcoal Grilling Recipe for Beef Kebabs

Grilled Beef Kebabs AKA Kababs or Kabobs As I've already mentioned, grilling is my newest hobby . I call it a hobby; otherwise, I wouldn't do it because a lot of time is required to prep. Grilling is meant to get me outdoors more, so yes, it is a hobby. Some people recently told me that they enjoy grilling because it's so much easier and there is less cleanup. I'm not sure how that can be unless they simply add something onto the grill without prepping it with flavor. Gas grilling may be slightly easier since no prepping is needed to heat it up as with a charcoal grill. However, I'm not 100% sure about that. And honestly, I use more dishes for grilling than I normally would for cooking on my kitchen stove. But the flavors and connecting with nature are so worth it. Directions for these beef kebabs are for the charcoal grill. But they can also be made in the oven or on a gas grill as well, using your own judgment for cooking times. This cook involves open-fire cook...

This Rule is Golden

In Matthew 7:12 NLT, Jesus tells us , "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." image courtesy of Randalyn Hill via Unsplash My goodness, how often does the world turn the Golden Rule around? Jesus meant it for us to be kind and merciful. Many in the world use it to get even, to seek vindication for a wrong done to them - or what they think has been done to them, which is NOT at all what Jesus said in this verse. Yet, how many times do we hear, "Well, they did this to me. I'm going to do the same to them." Or, "That person was mean to me; I'm going to teach that person a lesson they will never forget." Or, "I never get a break. Why should I give anyone else a break?" Jesus said to treat people the way we want to be treated. That means to be cordial in all encounters. Show mercy to those who aren't showing us mercy. Let's be nice to people who...
