I was perusing for dinner ideas when I stumbled across this website. I’ve been trying out the recipes. So far I only have one disappointment. I wouldn’t recommend the tuna noodle casserole, but then my roommate liked it. So…to each their own?

Potato Salad

INGREDIENTS:

6 potatoes
6 eggs

Dressing Ingredients-
1 ¼ cup salad dressing
1tbs mustard
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1/3 onion
1 cup celery
½ cup relish



HOW TO:

Potatoes-
Scrub/rinse potatoes (do not peel).
Set in large pot and fill with cold water.
Salt water 4/5 shakes.
Bring to boil then lower to a low boil.
Low boil for 20-25 minutes.
Pierce with fork to check if it is done.
