Amazing potato salad

My Grandma Selma on my Mom's side used to make this salad all the time and no other potato salad ever came close to it. Well, over the years my Mom has perfected it to taste just like hers! 

She taught me how to make it over the weekend, and I'm glad she did!

This salad is a great side at any BBQ, and I know the weather is getting cooler so throw a bbq one last time and impress your friends with this recipe and they won't be able to wait until the next BBQ to eat it again!

Let's start with the ingredients

(This recipe will serve 5 and we use a 2 quart glass serving bowl.)

• 5-6 red potatoes
• 3 green onions
• 2 hard boiled eggs
• a handful of cilantro OR parsley (we use cilantro in this)
• Mayo
• Milk

• Seasonings
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Onion Salt
• Cumin

Directions

Start by boiling the potatoes, you want them soft enough to stick a fork through but not TOO soft that they'll be mushy, we're not making mashed potato salad. Once you get them soft enough, take them out and let them cool. Now start boiling your eggs and take them out to cool when they're finished. Set aside

*They key to this next part is to make sure you chop each item (excluding the potatoes) very fine, you don't want any big pieces besides the potatoes*

Finely chop up a handful of cilantro (or parsley)- add to bowl
Finely chop up the green onions (entire onion: green & white part)- add to bowl
Chop up your hard boiled eggs- add to bowl




Add your first set of seasonings, about a couple shakes of each- and mix it up.
Use this time to check that all the pieces are small, and chop up anything that looks too big.

• Onion Salt
• Pepper
• Cumin

The potatoes!
Peel and slice into quarter cubes like this-

You don't have to use ALL the potatoes, you don't want to the bowl too full and it really depends on the size of potatoes you use.

Add the second set of seasonings- same as above.

Now for the mayo mixture, start with less and if you need more, add it as you go. You don't want too much mayo. Squirt about 1/4 of it into a small cup and (here's Grandma's trick) add milk and mix it to make it creamy. Pour over the potatoes and fold it in until you get the right consistency. You don't want it too sticky, and you don't want it too creamy- find a happy medium. Once you've got it where you want it, sprinkle a good amount of paprika on top- it should look like this. Throw it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it.

Enjoy!
