Cut into 1-1 ½ inch chunks and put in a large pot.
Cover with water, bring to a boil and let cook for about 7minutes. You want a fork to go into a piece of potato easily, but not fallapart. Drain quickly and rinse with ice cold water to stop the cooking process.
While the potatoes are boiling, place eggs carefully in apot and bring to a boil for 15 minutes. Immediately rinse with cold water tobring the temperature down fast. This makes the eggs much easier to peel.
Put the quartered potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the eggs and chop into ¼ inch pieces and add to themixing bowl.
The salad should look like there is a little too much mayonnaisebecause the potatoes will absorb some of it while it is cooling. This way youwon’t have a dry salad.
If putting into a serving dish, do so now. If not, smoothout the top of the salad.
Sprinkle some paprika for garnish
Cover and chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for 2hours before serving.
