Traditional Style Potato Salad

How to cook potatoes and eggs:

To cook the potatoes, place the peeled potatoes in a large pot of water and add about 1 tbs salt. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer for up to 15 to 25 minutes. To test the potatoes, use a knife to gently pierce it in the middle. If the knife goes in with little effort, it’s done. Turn off the heat and wait till it’s cool enough to handle.

If you’re wondering how to make hard boiled eggs, I recommend try making .5 dozen eggs first. It’s all about how much water and time you give those eggs. For instance, 6 eggs should be covered by at least an-inch and 1 tsp salt. Heat the pot on high and bring the water to rolling boil, then turn off the heat. Cover the pot and let the eggs sit in the hot water for the desired amount of time. For runny yolks 6 minutes, soft boiled 8-10 minutes, for hard boiled eggs 10-12 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water  to stop the cooking process. When you’re ready to eat, you can peel the eggs under water!
