Make a Super Summer Potato Salad

A marvellous way to use up freshly dug Kennebec potatoes for an easy, quick and delicious lunch or dinner accompaniment. We grew these potatoes without chemicals, pesticides and herbicides which somehow makes them taste better. There are many recipes for potato salad and this is our version

Potato Salad Ingredients

6 to 8 homegrown medium to large Kennebec potatoes
3 organic eggs (from non caged chickens)
Half a cup of chopped green onion tops
Half a cup of finely sliced celery
Pepper to taste

Dressing Mix

One heaping tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Three heaping tablespoons of light mayonnaise

Potato Salad Directions

Peel, cut and cook potatoes – along with the eggs (approximately 15 minutes) and let cool
Cut potatoes smaller and add two of the eggs chopped (save one for a garnish on top)
Add the chopped green onions and sliced celery
Season with pepper
Mix the mustard and mayonnaise together and add to potatoes and mix
Top with a sliced egg and freshly picked parsley

Notes

Great to make ahead to have with a barbecue
Vary the quantities according to number of guests. This recipe is good for four adults (plus!)
Remember to soak hard boiled eggs in cold water right after cooking as the shells come off more readily
No questions about where the potatoes came from or how long they have been stored
No chemicals, no preservatives, no long distance hauling
Deli "fresh" potato salad often does not have a complete list of ingredients which may include preservatives, emulsifiers and yes, added sugar (syrup). Ask your store what's in your potato salad (or cole slaw or) and definitely when it was made.
A home caution: A dish such as potato salad should be consumed as soon as possible (same or next day) and definitely never left out on a counter, especially on a hot day, but always kept refrigerated until served. This is to avoid the obvious threat of food poisoning by E. coli and other not very nice bacteria.
