Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #10 : Homemade Potato Salad
Homemade Potato Salad
It's already been 10 weeks of @progressivechef's @steemit-ironchef challenge. I am proud to participate in every week so far. Currently I am still in recovery mode from STEEMFest so I decided to make something fairly easy. Here's a classic homemade potato salad recipe that you can take to any gathering. It's delicious and easy.
Ingredients
24 oz bag of small potatoes
1/2 Red Onion
3 Celery Stalks
1 Pickle
2 Hard Boiled Eggs
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup of Mayo
1 heaping tablespoon of Mustard
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Cilantro, Chives, Dill and Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
Place potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer it down until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2: Give Them an Ice Bath
Give the potatoes an ice bath once they are done cooking.
Step 3: Chop the Potatoes
Chop them up nicely into little chunks.
Step 4: Add Vinegar, Salt & Pepper
Pour on a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and sprinkle on some salt and cracked pepper.
Step 5: Mix Mayo, Sour Cream & Mustard
In a small bowl mix the 1/2 cup of sour cream with the 1/4 cup of mayo and the heaping tablespoon of mustard. I like to go heavy on the mustard because that's just how I roll.
Step 6: Chop The Eggs & Veggies
Finely chop the 2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 the onion, 3 stalks of celery, pickle and herbs and add them to the bowl of potatoes.
Step 7: Mix in the Mixture
Add the Mayo/Mustard/Sour Cream mixture to the veggies and stir it up.
Enjoy!

Gorgeous food post!
Thank you @gringalicious! It was so nice meeting you in Lisbon! Next year we should work together with @roelandp to get a LIVE food competition going or something, that would be so much fun and there’s such a big group of food lovers on the network
That would be epic! I'd love it so much. Haha, someone get @roelandp on the phone!!!
Haha we’ll let @roelandp get some rest after that one, but definitely, let’s ring him in a few months!
Yummy, looks as it would be perfect with a beer during the weekend .... ;-)
Do you think mayo is somewhat polarizing? You love it or you hate it? I'm in the latter group. However, all those herbs and mustard, egg and onion will ALMOST make me forget that your potato salad has mayo. I think even with the mayo, I would love this dish. :) Great job @jeffjagoe :)
I agree, mayo can be gross to some people and then I knew a kid that would spread Mayo across his pizza... but I think I’m in the middle, I like mayo as just a friend. Thanks for your kind words :)
You always nail the American classics. Then after reading your posts all I can think about is eating these dishes. Like your banana split or the pumpkin pie...! Nice work.
Thanks @chefsteve I appreciate the kind words, I try to keep it relatively simple yet tasty
Great to see your entry my friend! I know you were in SF2 and thought you'll miss this round!
I can have potato salad everyday...i love it so much...in any style!
What a lovely potato salad .... getting hungry here ! I just know it is good hehe ...
Thank you :)
Ooh I do love a good hearty potato salad, yum!
Looks hearty and filling. I was just wondering what does the vinegar do? And also, I guess you could replace mayo with avocado to give it the creaminess and the healthy fats. Anyways, it looks really tempting. Guess, you're a food lover too. Check me out perhaps? @explorernations
The vinegar along with the salt and pepper provides a great seasoning for the potatoes. Any yes, avocado is a great substitute. They make avocado mayo too!
that looks insanely good
Thanks my friend, I appreciate the comment !
I agree with @gringalicious, very well done food post
Thanks I really appreciate hearing it from you guys considering you probably get to eat @gringalicious food all of the time!
