AUSTRALIAN STYLE POTATO SALAD
This is a recipe that I found on the inmamaskitchen website, posted by Margaret Walker, which I am posting here for the Zaar World Tour event. It appealed to me because it is very similar to the potato salad recipe that my mom made for our summertime picnics and potluck gatherings. There is a note at the berginning of the instructions that states there are many varieties of deli-style mustards, and it is best that you not use a smooth mustard for this recipe, but rather you should use a mustard that has a trace of seed still in it.

Steps:
- 1. Gently boil potatoes until a skewer will penetrate to the center. Turn off heat, pour off water and fill the pot with cold water. Leave until potatoes are quite cold.

- 2. In small bowl mix together the mustard and mayonnaise. Add to potatoes with chopped eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
- 3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or New Potatoes, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked. Avoid starchy potatoes, such as Russets, which are best for baking or mashing.
- Cook the potatoes properly. Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not too soft. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to potatoes, add other vegetables to your salad, such as carrots, celery, onions, peas, or corn. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the salad.
- Don't skimp on the dressing. The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a mayonnaise-based dressing, such as a classic vinaigrette or a creamy dill dressing. You can also use a yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is also a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a potato salad that you and your family will love.
