DIRECTIONS

  • Boil potatoes until they are tender but firm, do not over cook or the salad will be like mashed potatoes.
  • Drain potatoes immediately and let them cool completely.
  • Add (to the cooled potatoes) all other ingredients.
  • Toss lightly until thoroughly mixed making sure not to mash the potatoes.
  • Top the salad with the sliced eggs and sprinkle with Paprika.
  • We love it while it's still warm.
  • Refrigerate if you like it cold for 2 hours.
  • Enjoy!
