today I’m going to show you how to make no boil potato salad we’re taking all the work out of those potatoes if you need a fast potato salad for a barbecue outside or just a fast put together for a potluck or picnic y’all they won’t know I’m using two cans they’re 15 oz of whole potatoes we’re just making a small batch today but you can double this recipe if you want you can see the expiration date 12 2025 these cans last a long time in your pantry so you can stock up on these get them when they’re on sale they just have them on hand we’re going to drain these and then we’re going to rinse these off we don’t have to cook these you don’t have to heat them up just like they are just going to rinse them off shrink up my strainer here let’s go dry these off I’m just going to place my cutting board right here Place paper towels right there I’m going to bring over the potatoes we’re going to take our potatoes and we are just going to cut those into big bite-sized pieces with these potatoes I’m just going to cut them in fours so just in lengthwise there we go that way they hold up better in the bowl as we’re mixing other ingredients in lengthwise and then just cut those in half now if they’re a longer potato you can just cut them lengthwise and then just cut it three times just like that we got to give one a try you know those are good all right I’m going to finish chopping these up we’re going to start adding this to our large bowl we’re going to dice up half an onion the rest of the recipe is going to be coming from my first cooked book and it’s on page 62 if you have the book and you want to follow along once we get past the potato part of this recipe I do have volume two and a volume 3 cookbook also you can find all of the cookbook links Down Below in the description box or you can go to my recipe blog Katherine plates.com and go to the cookbook Tab and find the links there I’m going to be doing about onethird of this large onion here just take off that outer layer and what I like to do to keep everything nice and even just follow the lines of the onion as you’re slicing them I want the onions to be very tiny not big chunks at all then just turn it quarter of the way run your knife through very small and then you get those small dices right there once we get this all diced up I’m going to add it to the potatoes we need to give this potato salad some color cuz right now it’s just white and Bland so I’m going to give it some color some additional crunch I’ve got two ribs of celery that I’ve washed off and trimmed off the ends and then we’ve got these sweet peppers that’ll give it some color too and we’ll just chop those up also if you’re going to add a top of color to your potato salad what do you use let’s go ahead and add this all the colors okay we’re on track what we need to do now is get a pickle and dice that up and some hard-boiled eggs who loves eggs and potato salad me looking good in there yeah let’s grab some pickles my recipe says half a dill pickle dice it up let’s add that we’re going to add in 13 cup of mayonnaise we can adjust that as we go along I’m just going to add it right into the Bowl here for salt and pepper we’re going to add to taste so I’m going to go across go across that a/ qu of a teaspoon and then we’ll put in some black pepper qu of a teaspoon I’m going to add a little bit of pickle juice you get a wooden spoon you’re going to fold this all together oh it looks good doesn’t it m look at that all right we have it all mixed up and in a serving Bowl hardboiled eggs on the top

flavor once it comes to a boil we’re going to turn down the heat to about a medium high we’re going to let them simmer until we get these potatoes nice and fork tender once you’ve drained your potatoes run cold water over them for just a little bit cool them down and then I put some paper towels in a large bowl put my potatoes into there and then let them sit until they get to about room temperature and then I remove the paper towels the first ingredient we’re going to add to our pot potatoes it’s bacon we all like bacon on a baked potato don’t we I like to cook them up in the oven or
