How to boil potatoes

Devon's mom boils the potatoes whole therefore so do I. But you can cut them up and boil them which would significantly reduce cooking time.

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water (an inch above potatoes)
• Add 1/2-1 teaspoon salt
• Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Once it boils turn heat down to keep the water at a gently simmer.
• Whole potatoes will take approximately 40 minutes to cook. Test by piercing the potato with a knife or fork. It should be tender enough that the knife meets with little resistance.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine mayo or mayo-sour cream blend, mustard, celery seeds, couple of dashes of Beau Monde. Set aside.
• Drain and rinse under cool water. Transfer to a mixing bowl or colander.
• Dice potatoes approximately 1/2 -3/4 inch cubes. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add red onion, pickles, and mashed hard-boiled eggs to bowl. Then add about 3/4 of mayonnaise-mustard sauce.
• Mix well but gently so you don't break up the potatoes too much. Adjust if you need more dressing or not. Add pickle juice, taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Add. more mustard if it needs some tartness. If it seems too dry add milk. It's all a guessing game for your tastebuds.
• You pretty much know the drill..go ahead and make it your own! Add corn or peas or try it with fancy mustard, its up to you. I have added diced chicken or ham to the salad.
• Put your salad in the fridge to chill and let the flavors meld.
• Garnish with parsley or chopped scallions before serving
