Potato Salad

Cultural Context

Potato salad is a classic American dish often served at barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Its origins can be traced back to various European potato salads, but the American version typically features mayonnaise and hard-boiled eggs. This dish is versatile, with many regional variations incorporating different ingredients like bacon, pickles, or herbs.

1

Fill a pot with water and place the red potatoes in it.

2

Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.

3

Once boiling, salt the water, then reduce the heat to a simmer and set a timer for 20 minutes.

4

Fill another pot with water for the eggs and bring it to a boil.

5

After the potatoes have been boiling for 20 minutes, use a skimmer to carefully transfer the eggs into the boiling water.

6

Turn the heat back up to high and cook the eggs for 12 minutes.

7

Prepare an ice water bath while the potatoes and eggs are cooking.

8

After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice water bath to stop cooking.

9

Once the potatoes are done, poke one with a fork to check for doneness; it should have some resistance but not be mushy.

10

Transfer the potatoes to the ice water bath to cool them down, then place both the eggs and potatoes in the fridge to cool completely.

11

Once cooled, cube the potatoes into about 1-inch pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.

12

Dice the hard boiled eggs and add them to the mixing bowl.

13

Slice three stalks of celery and four green onions and add them to the bowl.

14

Grate the radishes using a box grater and add them to the bowl.

15

Add about a tablespoon of chopped dill, one cup of mayonnaise, a quarter-teaspoon of black pepper, and half-a-teaspoon of sea salt to the bowl.

16

Gently stir all the ingredients together until creamy and well combined.
