directions

  • Boil potatoes, until fork tender-- (not overcooked) When done, break apart with fork.
  • Immediately, toss with lemon juice and oil, salt and pepper.
  • By doing this while they are still warm the flavorings get into the potatoes, better.
  • Now, cool,& while cooling, chop the onions and celery and eggs.
  • Then add to the potatoes.
  • Now blend 1 cup of the mayo with the vinegar, and toss over the salad, gently folding until all coated.
  • If it seems dry, add more mayo.
  • Line a bowl with the lettuce leaves, and pile the salad in the center.

  1. Great little meal last night - I subbed butter lettuce shredded up, from my garden, for the celery and tiny little potatoes, purchased parcooked. Quick to make and you really can prepare as much or as little as you need. I made enough for two.

I am married to my school sweetheart, who bravely made it through TWO deployments to IRAQ. between the two of us (including previous relationships) we have 5 AMAZING kids.....one of which is OUR OWN!!! :) I LOVE to cook....and I IDOLIZE RACHAEL RAY!!! I love to come up with new recipes of my own, I rarely follow a recipe, and when I cook, nothing ever comes out the same twice....maybe that's cause I don't measure things...I just "eyeball it"....my husband is realizing that b/c I own almost all of Rachael's cookbooks, and watch all her shows, I am beginning to use her LINGO...lol, I'm not meaning to...it just makes sense to me...it's like..it's how I have thought all along..she just put it into words easier than i could have...hehehe
