RED HOT & BLUE POTATO SALAD - THE ORIGINAL
I've searched for this recipe for several years, ever since I worked at the Red Hot & Blue restaurant in Savannah, GA. I FINALLY managed to get ahold of the store manual's recipe, and this is scaled down from it. It will still make a fair amount, about 12 servings...but once you try it, you'll be grateful for that extra, cause it WON'T last long!!!

Steps:
- Steam the potatoes skin-on for approximately 45 minutes (you can boil them, but they tend to be slightly mushier in the end result). Set aside until cool enough to handle. Boil your eggs, then do the same. When cool enough, peel the eggs ONLY (do NOT peel the potatoes -- the skin gives it part of it's unique texture and taste).
- In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Chop the potatoes and eggs into bite-size pieces and add to bowl. Mix GENTLY -- you want salad, not mush -- until blended.
- Serve at room temp for up to 2 hours after making -- refridgerate leftovers. It tastes best when room temp, but is delicious cold too -- so if you are making this in advance, it's fine to chill it.
- NOTE - If you are on a low-sodium diet, you can easily reduce or eliminate the salt the recipe calls for. Just let people salt it at table to taste!
- ***Wanted to say THANKS to all the reviews! Here's another hint to make this easier: when you are going to make boiled eggs, ALWAYS make sure you buy the eggs at LEAST 7-10 days in advance. Why? Because as an egg matures, it develops a small air "bubble" inside it (it's the membrane separating from the shell). Having this bubble makes it a BREEZE to peel the eggs once they've cooled completely (also a great trick for Easter Eggs, BTW). You want your eggs to be around 10-12 days old, and it takes, on average, 2-3 days to get them from the laying facility to the store.

Steps:
- Mix potatoes, hard boiled eggs, green onions, mayonnaise, and celery salt in a large bowl. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Red and blue potatoes are ideal for this salad. They hold their shape well and have a slightly waxy texture that makes them less likely to fall apart when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes perfectly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart.
- Cool the potatoes before making the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light dressing: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the potatoes and vegetables to shine through.
- Don't overmix the salad: Overmixing the salad will break down the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
Conclusion:
Red Hot Blue Potato Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this salad is sure to be a hit.
