A classic potato salad recipe. Most potato salads look and taste better when made with low-starch red boiling potatoes. You can use any size of this variety, but the small new potatoes cook 10 to 15 minutes faster than the larger ones. Choose potatoes that are all roughly the same size, if possible, so they cook in the same time.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red boiling potatoes , scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 3 hard-cooked eggs
- 1 small celery stalk
- 0.25 cups chopped sweet pickle , not relish
- 3 scallions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Instructions

1
Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring to ensure even cooking, until a thin-bladed paring knife or a metal skewer inserted into a potato can be removed with no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Cool slightly.

Simple Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas
I created this simple egg and cheese quesadilla after being disappointed by the Dunkin' Donuts breakfast quesadilla. These quesadillas are satisfying, filling, and a good way to start your day. I make these the night before for my husband. He rewarms them in the microwave or the toaster oven, and they are as good as freshly made. They can also be made in advance and frozen for future breakfasts.
