Country Potato Salad

Peel and dice potatoes into cubes. Place potatoes into a large pot of water. Boil for about 20 minutes (or until fork tender). Take care not to overcook your potatoes; you don’t want them overly mushy.

Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, chicken stock and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes, celery, onion and stir gently. Stir in eggs.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors and chill.

Cook’s note: Potatoes love to soak up all the mayonnaise, so if you notice your salad is just a little dry when you are ready to serve, add a little more mayonnaise and chicken stock and it will restore the creaminess of your potato salad.

How do you make the perfect hard boiled egg? Put eggs in a medium pot. Cover with cool water. Place on the burner over high heat. Bring to a boil then take the pot off the heat and cover with a lid. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Dump water out of pot and rinse with cool water. You will have perfectly hard boiled eggs and no green rings!
