Potato Salad

By

Litter Gitter

I also boil my potatoes in the skin. I think it gives the potato a different texture. The reason I do it that way is, that's the way my mama did it. If she were living today, she would be 110 years old.

For large potatoes, I cover with water, put a lid on the pot and boil 20 minutes, cut the stove off, leave covered and let them sit for about 3 hours. To chill, I drain off the water and add some ice cubes for a few minutes before peeling and dicing.

I could never understand why people boil whole potatoes and then peel and cube them? I peel & cube first and then boil. The small pieces cook so much faster than whole potatoes.

How long do I boil potatoes for potato salad? don't want it to come out like mashed potatoes.
