Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Creamy Potato Salad.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients: vibrant red potatoes, fresh eggs, and a rich creamy salad dressing.
Step 2
In a small pot, fill it with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Toss in the red potatoes and let them simmer until they’re tender yet firm, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
Step 5
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a saucepan, covering them completely with cold water.
Step 6
Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs steep in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 7
After this time, transfer the eggs to a cool bath to halt the cooking process.
Step 8
Once they’re cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and slice the whites away from the yolks, keeping the yolks intact.
Step 9
Dice the egg whites and the cooled potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Step 10
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced egg whites and potatoes, then drizzle in the creamy salad dressing, gently tossing to ensure everything is well-coated.
Step 11
For a delightful finishing touch, crumble the egg yolks over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Step 12
Serve this refreshing potato salad chilled, perfect for any gathering or a simple family meal.
Step 13
Enjoy the burst of flavors and the satisfaction of a homemade classic!.
