Everyone loves a good old fashioned Potato Salad, right? Here’s my version…the pepperoncini’s are mylittle special addition.
| Amount | Measure | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| 6-8 | Peeled Potatoes *see below for peeling tip. | |
| 4-5 | Hard boiled eggs | |
| 1/2 | cup | Green Onions |
| 1- 1 1/2 | cup | Bell Peppers (Red & Green) |
| 1/2 – 1 | cup | Celery |
| Pepperoncini’s | ||
| 1/2 -1 | can | Black Olives |
| 1 Tbsp | to taste | Mayonnaise |
| see below | Mustard | |
| to taste | Salt & Pepper |
To prepare:
- Remove skins from potatoes (see note below) dice, and mix with diced hard boiled eggs, chopped green onions, chopped peppers, chopped celery & chopped black olives. Proportions of each can vary depending on what you prefer.
- Stir in mayonnaise (1 tablespoon at a time), until your salad is the consistency you like…then drop a spoon into a jar of yellow mustard and shake off excess, whatever sticks to the spoon will be just enough to give your salad a little ‘zing’.
- Salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle paprika over the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
- *To remove the skins from your potatoes easily, simply score each potato around with a sharp knife. Drop into a pot of boiling salted water. Allow to boil for about 15 minutes. Remove, carefully with tongs and submerge into a bowl of ice-water. The skins should just slip right off. (Save those babies for fried potato skins, later!)
