Potato Salad

I personally love potato salad and you can have it with any kind of meat, it is a great complimentary salad.  There are a lot of methods in making potato salad, adding onions, or egg etc etc....

My recipe is plain and simply, it comes out creamy and soft and oh so yummy.  I always used to cook my potatoes on the stove but then someone showed me the method below and they blew me off my feet, and now are rarely do it any other way...so try it you might save a lot of time preparing your potatoes, time you can use enjoy the food....

So what do we need:

8 large potatoes

50ml Condense Milk

250 ml + Mayonnaise

Sugar - 50 ml about.

salt

spring onion - chopped

Optional

1/2 eggs (cooked)

1 onion (chopped)

What do you do:

1.  So first you place all your potatoes into a plastic bag, normal shopping bag.  Then you make two or three inserts into the potatoes.  Then you close the bag and put it into the microwave.  You put the potatoes in for the same amount of potatoes in the bag plus 1. 

Just always test the potatoes, if they are not ready yet put them in for another 3 minutes at a time...

The other method of course it to boil your potatoes on the stove in water in a pot, or still in the microwave, but after you have taken off the skin and cut them into the cubes you want, either ways it is up to you...what every work easier..

2.  While your potatoes are becoming edible..hehehe, it's time to prepare the sauce.  When i got married my husband & I had numerous arguments about what comes in the sauce we came to a collaboration, thus the recipe. 

Add your mayonnaise, sugar, condensed milk all together and mix well, i love tasting and the most important rule about food it tasting...so now you can add a little milk at a time, if it's to runny, just add more mayonnaise. There is no precise way in making potato salad, it should taste good that's what count.  I like adding some salt and some herbs, just for a little extra.

3.  At this stage your potatoes should be done, if they are not, place your sauce in the fridge to keep it nice and cool.  After the potatoes have cooled down, and they are peeled and cut into little blocks, then you can add you sauce over...

A lot of people add chopped up onions & boiled egg, that is all up to you, i don't eat onion and my husband doesn't like egg in, so again we compromised and it works perfectly.  Now pour over you sauce, slowly mix it into the potatoes...just remember YOU ARE NOT MAKING MASH...so there is no need to stir, "fold in" the sauce slowly....

And then you are done, potato salad is best served cold so place it into the fridge to cool down...Serve with some grilled chicken & a nice green salad and you are all set..

Enjoy
