Susan's Amazing Potato Salad

Submitted by RedVinoGirl

"This is a delicious, creamy simple potato salad! I'm not a fan of the potato salads with all the extra ingredients in it (relish, celery, etc). I love the true flavor of potatoes and hard boiled eggs that this dish creates. This makes a large pot - the perfect size for a potluck! Prep time does not include the cooling time for the potatoes or the eggs."

I've always loved simple potato/egg salads and was drawn to the simplicity of this recipe. I cut the servings back to 4, and made it using some of my latest batch of bmcnicol's Crock Pot Baked Potatoes 259599. I used 4 free-range eggs; I certainly wasn't going to use 31/4 eggs! I confess to adding 2 cloves of finely minced garlic to the onion and about 1/4 teaspoon of fresh chopped basil to about a cup of fresh parsley (didn't actually measure either), and I used a really good mayonnaise. Just delicious, and I've really enjoyed this as a wonderful take-to-work lunch over the past three days. Chilled for longer than three hours! Made for EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! Well it hasn't been - a holiday - but lunch has been something to really look forward to! Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.
