^{Me and my apron, over my black fleece hoodie. (My Normal around the house attire, [not the apron])}

Red Skinned Potatoes, just the eyes and spots removed.
(My mama would be aghast)


Into the pot with an egg (it's going to be a small batch)

cover with water

Add some sea salt

And bring to a boil

A side note.
If any of you have seen the empty ice cream containers on
My counters, here is why.

If you put peelings, or onion ends, or pieces of bone or scrap meat in your trash (which cannot be sealed) it will quickly become odorous.

By using these containers (which have lids that fit rather tightly) and are disposable, and are basically PAPER, I can get rid of those peels etc without having bugs or stink in my house.
Smart, huh?
So, while the potatoes are cooking, I chopped some celery (on a slant to get the best crunch and flavor) Of course using the leaves too.

Gotta have some onion

Finely diced

So here is the ensemble, as the potatoes and egg are almost done

It might be a "southern thing" but in my opinion, there is no Mayonaise
Better than Dukes.
Mama would have had sweet relish, I used dill, with some lemon juice.

Drain the taters

Add the other ingredients

Fresh ground black pepper

The Mayo, then comes the egg

Crack the shell

(I usually do a better job, but the egg was soft boiled)

Chop and mix all together:

And 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐚̀!
