Thick and Chunky Potato Salad


Summer Time EATS!


It's almost officially Summer and I am getting ready to cook up some tasty eats. As you probably already figured out, I love potatoes. I love potato salad even more. You can't grill without having potato salad as a side dish. This dish is so simple, the key to it is these little baby buttery potatoes that pop in your mouth when you bite into them.


I just rinsed and boiled the potatoes in a little salted water. Then I boiled some eggs, chopped up some bell peppers, shallots, celery and a little green onions.  Don't forget to season well.


This potato salad is ready in less than 30 minutes. I like to make it the night before I eat it, but I also like to eat it hot.


This potato salad is chunky, buttery and just so full of flavor!

  1. I don't think my mother ever measured the ingredients in her potato salad, but this is how she did it. I'll have to try it.
