Simple Potato Salad

 

When we were at the University of Arkansas during family weekend, we were graciously hosted for dinner by a former tennis teammate of my daughter’s, Robin Juels Most and her husband, Brian. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law were visiting at the time and her mother-in-law made a potato salad that you knew was going to be delicious just by looking at it. It was as delicious as I thought it would be and I was astonished at how simple it was to make. Just three ingredients and some salt and pepper. I didn’t get exact measurements but I don’t really think you need it. However I am logging my measurements for the sake of creating a recipe. This is very different from regular potato salad but a great alternative and so easy.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 Lbs. russet potatoes
  • 12 Hard boiled eggs
  • 1 Pint Marzetti The Original Slaw Dressing (as pictured below). This is not the refrigerated dressing. It’s in your grocer’s isle of salad dressings.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Boil the potatoes until tender and dice in bite size chunks.
  • Coarsely chop the hard boiled eggs.
  • Mix the two ingredients in a bowl and add the dressing.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toss gently and refrigerate overnight for the best taste.
  • If you want a little tartness, you can add a dash of yellow mustard or a dash of vinegar.
  • Serve in a bowl with a sprinkle of paprika.
