easy-peasy potato salad
One of my favorite things to whip up on a busy day is my easy-peasy potato salad. I just put a pot of water to boil with a pinch of salt as I peel a bunch of potatoes and then cut them into irregular shapes.
I like to overboil my potatoes so that when I stir in the other ingredients later, the texture is something like some of the best eye creams you see in magazine ads. The softness gives it a melt-in-the-mouth effect and is perfect for younger children and older folks too.
After the potatoes are cooked, I scoop them into a big bowl, then add my lightly fried bacon bits, a pinch of salt and pepper, a good sprinkle of dried parsley and enough light mayonnaise to make it all come together. If I have Dijon mustard, I would add some too.
Simple though it may sound, this potato salad makes a very delicious accompaniment to any meat dish or lightly fried Bratwurst sausages which is what I usually pair this with. Of course, if you’re cooking this potato salad for very young kids or as a vegetarian dish, you can always leave out the bacon bits.
