Easy Homemade Potato Salad

Step 1

Place potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until they are tender. You can test by sliding a knife into one of them – they should slide off. Once done, drain and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs in a separate pot. Place eggs in a pot and cover with water by at least 1 or 2 inches. Bring to a boil on high heat. Boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes. Remove from the stove and run eggs under cold water. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and chop into small cubes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise and vinegar. Add cooled potatoes, eggs, and half the green onions. Season with salt and pepper and gently toss together. I use a spatula to fold the ingredients together.

Step 4

Garnish with the remaining green onions, and serve.
