Sometimes we long for comfort food and this potato salad hits the spot. It was inspired by my Mother’s recipe and while it is different, it still brings back that sense of nurturing and caring she gave me. For variation I use whole baby potatoes and/or quail eggs instead of chicken eggs and chopped medium potatoes. The recipe lends itself well to doubling or tripling.
Dimpled Knees Hart’s Potato Salad

Ingredients for salad:
- 5-6 medium sized potatoes, boiled, skins removed, cut into chunks
or one bundle of baby potatoes, boiled, skins removed, left whole

When this dressing is well mixed pour it over the potato mixture and toss well until all the ingredients are coated in the dressing. Put into a serving bowl and top with a plate or cling warp. Put in the refrigerator for at least one hour or up to several hours.
