Make Homemade Potato Salad

Potato salad is a hot-weather staple.


Potato salad is a great dish to take to a barbecue, or good as a side dish for a family dinner. It's easy to make.


Instructions


1. Turn a stove burner on medium to high heat. Fill a large pan with water, and put it on the stove.


2. Wash your potatoes, and peel them if you like. Cut them into bite size pieces. Put them in the pan of boiling water. Add the eggs to the same pan. This helps on cleanup later.


3. While the potatoes are boiling, cut up the onions, pickles and black olives into tiny pieces. Put them to the side for now.


4. Poke the potatoes with a fork to make sure they are not soft. Don't overcook until they are soft, or your potato salad will be mushy.


5. Take the eggs out after about 10 minutes of boiling. Peel them, then slice.


6. When the potatoes are done, drain the water. Put the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mix. Add the onions, pickles and black olives. Mix together. Place the slices of eggs on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
