Potato Egg Salad

Try this easy potato egg salad! It is the perfect side dish for your next BBQ and all of the summer holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day! 

Here’s my twist on potato salad. I like when there are a lot of eggs in potato salad, but if you add a lot of eggs, it gets close to being an egg salad – hence potato egg salad.

It’s great with hot dogs, hamburgers or any BBQ ready food. I always eat at least two helpings.

When I first published this recipe, it was for a Memorial Day menu (along with deviled eggs, my mom’s veggie dip, burgers, hot dogs, brats, pasta salad, and margaritas.)

My mom makes a similar version that is delicious and actually my favorite.

This is the closest I could get to recreating it, short of asking her for the recipe.

Potato Egg Salad

Making potato egg salad is very easy. You boil potatoes and then let them cool.

Once they are cool enough to touch without hurting your fingers, you add them to the saucy part (all of the wet ingredients and the spices go into a bowl and get whisked together.)

Then you add the potatoes and eggs and green onions.  It’s really that simple.

I recommend cooking the potatoes a tad longer than you think you should. If they are too firm the salad doesn’t get the right consistency.
