FAST AND EASY POTATO SALAD



Fast and Easy Potato Salad image

Using the microwave provides a quicker version of potato salad than you'll get from boiling the potatoes. Fast, simple, easy, and delicious! Perfect for those days when you just want potato salad but can't be bothered to make it from scratch, yet don't want the garbage you get at the grocery store. Also great for people living in households where other members don't share the same potato salad enjoyment (my fiancee hates mayo). For gluten-free or lactose free version-check that the mayo used is suitable

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 11m

Yield 3-4 cups, 1-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 medium potatoes (try to pick ones around the same size for even cooking)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 -2 tablespoon mild paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
1 baby dill pickle, diced (optional)
1 tablespoon pickle juice (optional)
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the eyes and blemishes off the potatoes. Skin them if you prefer but I think they're delicious and they're definitely more nutritional!
  • Rinse the potatoes and place them in the microwave undried.
  • Microwave the potatoes (three at a time if you're making a double or triple recipe for the whole family or a potluck) spaced evenly apart on HIGH for THREE MINUTES.
  • Chop your green onions. Chop your pickle and eggs if desired.
  • Flip the potatoes over (careful, they're hot!) and microwave on HIGH for THREE MINUTES more.
  • Mix the mayo, spices, onions, and optional pickle and eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Let the potatoes rest in the microwave for a few minutes (they will continue to cook).
  • Test the doneness of the potatoes with a knife or fork by piercing into the center of each one. If the knife does not go in smoothly or there is resistance, repeat the microwaving process above in increments of ONE MINUTE.
  • Place the cooked potatoes immediately into a bowl of cold water. Let cool for a few minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces (usually halves and then eights will do) - careful, they may still be hot inside.
  • Mix potatoes with sauce mixture, and enjoy!
