Best Red Bliss Potato Salad Recipe

• 8-10 red potatoes, skins left on and washed, cut in large cubes
• 1/2 cup onion, diced fine
• 2-3 Tbsp sweet green relish
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise, light or regular
• 1/2 tsp celery salt
• Fresh dill, as much as you like, minced
• 4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced, optional
• Leftover grilled chicken, sliced or cubed, optional
• Crumbled bacon, optional
• Tomato wedges, optional

How To Make Red Bliss Potato Salad:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan.
• Cover potatoes with room temperature water and bring them to a boil.
• On medium heat, cook until potatoes are not quite done. Cool one off and taste it. If it seems like it could use just a teeny bit more, take it off the heat and drain. The potatoes continue cooking for a few minutes longer while they're draining. Another way to tell if they're done is when the peels just start to pull away from the potatoes.
• Run cold water over the potatoes and drain. Set aside to cool.
• When the potatoes have cooled down, place in a large bowl and add onions and relish. Gently fold in the mayonnaise, celery salt and dill.
• Place in a pretty serving bowl and arrange the hard boiled eggs on top and garnish with a few sprigs of dill.
• Add optional ingredients and serve right away or refrigerate.
• Serves 4-6.
