FARMHOUSE POTATO SALAD
I got this recipe from a cooking show on 3ABN network called "Let's Cook Together." It used tofu instead of eggs and vegenaise in place of nayonnaise, but can easily be adapted to the non-vegan version by using real mayonnaise and evaporated milk. It is a yummy recipe and we have made it both ways. The family loved it both ways and cleaned out the bowl. Cook time includes the time to cook the potatoes and to saute the toful if using it.

Steps:
- If using tofu in place of the eggs, slice tofu in half horizontally, then slice and cube. If using eggs, boil them, cool them, peel them and chop them, then set them aside. Put the tofu in a hot skillet with olive oil. Sprinkle on the seasonings and stir. Gently stir and saute until well coated with the seasonings. Turn the heat down and let gently cook while you toss the other ingredients to gether. If using the egg, add it to the other veggies at this time.When all is combined, add the dressing (either the vegenaise one or the real mayonnaise one). Toss well and then chill. Can also use Miracle Whip if you like it better then the mayonnaise.

THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD
This recipe is right off the Hellman's mayonnaise jar. To me, it's so good it rivals my mother in law's potato salad, which I think is the best there is. It's a plain and simple potato salad, but it's delicious! Add pimentos, olives, or green peppers depending on what you like in your potato salad.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: Combining different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerlings, adds flavor and texture to the salad.
- Boil potatoes until tender-firm: Overcooking the potatoes will make them mushy, so boil them until they are just tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Cool potatoes before dressing: Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before adding the dressing. This will prevent the dressing from absorbing too much water and becoming diluted.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice for potato salad. Avoid using heavy or creamy dressings, as they can overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a unique and delicious salad.
