How do you make potato salad

[patandchickens]

Just a slightly amused observation -- y'all, you have EGGS, you can MAKE YOUR OWN mayo. None of this 'jar of' or Miracle Whip stuff...

Blue Cheese Potato Salad

Ingredients:

2 pounds red new potatoes, cooked & chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar (*I use apple cider vinegar or balsamic)
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 1/2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Salt & pepper to taste

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, green onions, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and cheese and toss to coat.

The original recipe called for a few slices of cooked, crumbled bacon, which I'm sure is yummy but we're vegetarian so I left it out. Omnivores, feel free to add bacon!

The mayonnaise recipe is on the forum too

I add a couple of tablespoons of blue cheese dressing to mine, and shredded cheese.

If the kids aren't gonna eat it I throw in grilled onion.

Do you add salt to the water? You should for home grown eggs. The peel better then.

I usually make my own mayo, but my young adult kids blew my blender making margaritas, and the mortar and pestle is just a little more work than what I want right now!

I used that Red and white cookbook... I ran outta Mayo so used half of what it required with sour cream. My family went NUTS over it!

Can't remember the name of that dang book.. Maybe Better Homes and Garden? Anyway, just another way to get a diff. taste.
