Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Ingredients:

Red potatoes
Salt, pepper
Chopped onion
Canola oil
2 tablespoons of vinegar
Mayonnaise to taste
Lettuce leaves
Hard boiled eggs, sliced
Parsley

Directions:

Cut potatoes up and boil them until tender. Place them in a large bowl and cut them even smaller. Add salt, pepper and chopped onion. Add oil (canola oil for example).. Make sure all the potatoes have oil on them. Mix them with your hands. Place in refrigerator overnight. Remove and add about 2 tablespoons of vinegar and mayonnaise to taste. Taste and see if it has enough zing to it. If not, add a little more salt, taste again, if not zingy add another tablespoon of vinegar. Make sure you have enough mayonnaise to make it moist. To serve the salad: at the last moment place on nice platter or bowl. Stick some lettuce leaves around the sides with ruffles up. Make some hard boiled eggs and slice them with an egg slicer. Place these around the top of the salad. Sprinkle with parsley to add some color to the potatoes.
