Idaho

Today we are headed to the state of Idaho. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Idaho is potato. So I would be teaching you how to make potato salad. Potato salad is one of my family’s favorite recipes. I remember my dad use to make this dish a lot when I was a kid and it just brings back a lot of good childhood memories.

Ingredients:

2lbs. of red skin potatoes

4 eggs

½ tsp. of salt

1½ cups mayonnaise

2 celery stalks

¼ cup whole grain Dijon mustard

½ cup sweet relish

2 tbs. parsley flakes

            Boil the two eggs in a small saucepan. When the eggs are cooked, take the eggs out and run it through cold water. When the eggs are cooled down, peel the egg shell and then chopped up the eggs into cubes and put it aside.

            Then place potatoes in a large pot and fill it up with water. Cooking time varies depending how much potatoes you use. It took me around 20-30 minutes. To check if the potato is finish cooking, use a fork and poke it. If it is easy to poke through the potato, which means it is finish cooking. If it is still really hard, let it cook for a few more minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander or strainer. Let it cool down before touching it with your hands.

            While we wait for the potatoes to cool down, we can start making the dressing. In a big bowl, add mayonnaise, diced celery, Dijon mustard, sweet relish, parsley flakes, and salt. Mix together. Then peel the skin of the potato and chopped it up into cubes. Place the chopped eggs and potato into the dressing and mix until everything is evenly coated. Enjoy!
