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.

Buying and Care Tips for Outdoor Plants

These first 2 tips came to mind when I was buying 4 new outdoor deck plants this past week at Lowe's. First of all, at least at the Lowe's I visited, all of their hanging basket flowers were badly wilted and turning brown. I'll have to say, that was a first. All of their plants usually look amazing. I'm not sure if it's because of all the local rainfall, and maybe they haven't been watering them regularly, and that was why they looked so shabby. Because typically, someone would be watering the flowers at about the time we arrived; always have been in the past, and no one was doing that on the day we visited earlier this week. Or maybe they've let Mother Nature overwater them. I don't know. Regardless of the reason, I passed on buying hanging basket flowers. I'm the type of person who really needs to start with healthy flowers. Therefore, I brought home 4 in regular pots, because they all looked healthy. So, my first tip is to pay attention to the

Worry is Waste

How many moments do we waste worrying about things we aren't able to control? I know I've had my fair share of moments like that. I won't say that I never worry anymore. Human nature is to worry. But I worry much less these days, because I trust God to take care of all my needs and problems. According to my NLT study Bible, worrying leads to immobilization, but concern leads us to action. I like that they have shown me the difference between worry and concern. Let's, now, read today's Scripture about the impacts of worry and the effects of trusting God from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 6:25-34 says, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your

Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate . Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments. Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation. Listen to Meditation 4 . In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made u
