Creamy Potato Salad Country Style

I’ve been waiting to change my blog a bit. Toying with changing the name to “Homesteading without Moving”.

Not sure as of yet but I’ve have a desire to go through my grandmas very old recipe book and update the recipes. Or even my sons from chef school.

Might be a fun project don’t ya think?

Anyways…I like things creamy, lots of butter when applicable.

Let’s see if you do too.

Know how you tell if one’s pancakes are edible?

Press on the pancakes with your fork and if butter oozes up they’re ready for human consumption.

If not, add more butter.

If you relate you’ll love this recipe for my potato salad.

So let’s get started.

Recipe can be adjusted per taste but here’s the jist.

4 Cups cubbed and boiled potatoes with or without skin.
1/4-1/2 C chopped celery
1/2 C chopped onions of choice
1/2 C frozen peas
1T dill (optional)
Salt n pepper to taste
1 1/2-2 C mayo (preferably without seed oil)
3 chopped boiled eggs

I like to chop the potatoes first. Some like to boil the potatoes whole and peel them after or chop without peeling. But waiting for those darn potatoes to cool ends up costing me time and usually a burn. So I’d rather just get er’ done.

Here they are boiling. (I try and use glass when I can).

Chop your veggies etc while the potatoes are in the steam sauna.

I’m ready with the dark green part of the onions for topping and the frozen peas in ramekins.

I LOVE using ramekins because I love saying “ramekins”. Why you ask? Because:

I feel so “cooking channel” when I have them all set out.
I feel so organized and ready.
But my favorite reason is simply I love saying the word “ramekin”. Like I just elevated myself.
Try it. Say ramekin 3x, best out~load.
Unless you’re in the doctors waiting room. They might think you’re having a seizure.
But overall you’ll feel like a better person!

I boil my eggs like my mother taught me. Bring them to a boil and set the timer for 15 minutes.

I’m not sure how long I boiled them but time will vary depending on which potato you choose. (Nice way of saying I forgot to notice).

But boil them till fork tender depending on how you like your potatoes. But in that creamy is our goal I like them to break apart easily when I poke the cubes with a fork.
