FAST AND EASY POTATO SALAD
Using the microwave provides a quicker version of potato salad than you'll get from boiling the potatoes. Fast, simple, easy, and delicious! Perfect for those days when you just want potato salad but can't be bothered to make it from scratch, yet don't want the garbage you get at the grocery store. Also great for people living in households where other members don't share the same potato salad enjoyment (my fiancee hates mayo). For gluten-free or lactose free version-check that the mayo used is suitable

Steps:
- Cut the eyes and blemishes off the potatoes. Skin them if you prefer but I think they're delicious and they're definitely more nutritional!
- Rinse the potatoes and place them in the microwave undried.
- Microwave the potatoes (three at a time if you're making a double or triple recipe for the whole family or a potluck) spaced evenly apart on HIGH for THREE MINUTES.
- Chop your green onions. Chop your pickle and eggs if desired.
- Flip the potatoes over (careful, they're hot!) and microwave on HIGH for THREE MINUTES more.
- Mix the mayo, spices, onions, and optional pickle and eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
- Let the potatoes rest in the microwave for a few minutes (they will continue to cook).
- Test the doneness of the potatoes with a knife or fork by piercing into the center of each one. If the knife does not go in smoothly or there is resistance, repeat the microwaving process above in increments of ONE MINUTE.
- Place the cooked potatoes immediately into a bowl of cold water. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Remove the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces (usually halves and then eights will do) - careful, they may still be hot inside.
- Mix potatoes with sauce mixture, and enjoy!

SIMPLE POTATO SALAD FOR TWO
This is the same basic recipe my mom has always made. A lot of the measurements are guesses and should be added to taste. You can also add peppers, pickles, celery, etc. I made this in a small batch today, since it's just me. It's a good amount for one or two people to eat a few times. But it's easy enough to double or triple or....you get the idea. I love this because it's what I grew up on and I am not a celery fan and also find most commercial potato salad to be too bland or too sweet.

Steps:
- Scrub the potatoes and place in water to cover. Bring to a boil and then cover the pan and lower heat to simmer for about 25 - 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart to the touch (but a little overcooked is better than having an uncooked spot in the middles). You can cool the potatoes some by putting them in cold water for about a minute or two.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into cubes or chunks or quarter slices and put them in a bowl.
- Sprinkle vinegar over potatoes.
- Dice up to of the eggs and add. Slice the third and reserve to make decoration for the top of the salad.
- Add onions, seasonings and the mayonnaise and stir until well incorporated.
- Decorate top of salad with reserved eggs.
- Chill to blend all flavors, but also tastes good slightly warm right after you make it!

Tips:
- Use Yukon gold potatoes: They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: You don't want them to be mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light mayonnaise-based dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Add some chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs: These classic ingredients add crunch, flavor, and color to the salad.
- Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper: You may also want to add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: Potato salad is best when served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato salad that will be a hit at your next gathering.
