Salads

Memorial Day Picnic Potato Salad

Ok, this week, you will be shopping for your Memorial Day cook-out, right? Well, you simply cannot have a cook-out without some potato salad. Southern Living has several recipes for this and the one that caught my eye is the one which I always cook up anytime we are having bar-b-que or fried chicken or simply because I get hungry for it. It is easy and it will quickly become a family favorite.

4 lb Yukon potatoes

3 hard cooked eggs, peeled and grated

1 cup mayo (if you decide to use miracle whip, it will sweeten the flavor of the salad)

1/3 cup finely chopped onion and if desired 1/3 cup finely chopped celery (I usually do not put celery in mine)

1/3 cup sweet pickle relish

1 tables mustard

1 teas salt and pepper

1/2 teas celery salt and 1/2 teas dried dill

Peel potatoes and cut into 1 to 1 1/2 ” chunks and cook until tender. Drain and cool. Combine potatoes and eggs. Stir together mayo  and rest of ingredients. Gently stir with potatoes until well mixed. Cover and chill before serving.
