Potato Salad

Submitted by Greffete

"This is just a good old fashion spud salad. The celery and red bell pepper add a little crunch and color. If you like a mustard style simply double the amounts. Tastes even better if it's had a chance to mingle flavours. Tip: you can wash your eggs well and boil them in with the potatoes, then plunge them into ice water while potatoes are draining. The ice water will make them easier to peel."

Delicious! I find that cooking the potatoes this way is easier than cooking them whole, in their skins and then peeling them hot. I was afraid there would be too much mustard for me, but this is not the case. Thank you for a new to me way to make lovely potato salad. (Picky daughter also enjoyed it very much.)

Best tasting potato salad ever! I used a green pepper instead of the red. It was delish!

Excellent stuff - I used beetroot relish instead, as I had to use it up - worked well.
