Baby Potato Salad Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes (about 15)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives
- Seasoned salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes, then cut them in half or quarters on a cutting board.
- Chop the fresh chives.
- Place potatoes and eggs in a large saucepan of cold, salted water and bring to a boil on high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove just the eggs. Let the potatoes continue to cook for 5–10 minutes or until fork tender.
- Run the boiled eggs under cold water. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and chop.
- When the potatoes are done, drain in a colander and run under cold water then drain again. Set aside to continue cooling for about 5 minutes.
- At the same time, in a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to mix together the mayonnaise and white vinegar.
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, and half of the chopped chives. Add the seasoned salt and pepper to your personal preference, and gently fold together with a silicone baking spatula. Garnish with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
