Friday Fun: The BEST potato salad

Do you ever find yourself losing hours of your life on Pinterest, only to find your house is a disaster, your kids are hungry and your laundry hamper is overflowing?

No? 

Just us? 

Damn. 

Oh well. On one of our recent Pinterest binges, we found a recipe that advertised itself as "the best potato salad ever". We were immediately skeptical. We've eaten gallons of potato salad in our day... some great, some not so much. So we were ready to give it a try over Memorial Day weekend. 

The recipe was pretty basic. We weren't impressed. So, we did what every great test kitchen does... we made the recipe our own. The end result really was something special. 

Cool Dads Potato Salad

Ingredients
6 medium sized yellow potatoes
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
4 radishes, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Franks Red Hot Sauce- or any other hot sauce you prefer. Franks works for us

Directions

Boil the potatoes until they are just soft – you don’t want them to be too mushy. It should take approximately 30-45 minutes.

Let them cool, then peel them and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Combine with the eggs, radishes, salt and pepper. 





Mix together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard and a few shakes of hot sauce, and fold into the potatoes. Let chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The longer it sits, the better this potato salad tastes.

Is it the Best Potato Salad ever? We think it's pretty darn close! We served it at Sunday lunch last week, and it received rave reviews. One guest even commented that she never thought of putting radishes in her potato salad before; and now that's how she plans on preparing it! You don't get a much better compliment than that. Give it a try, and let us know your opinion.

Stay Cool,
The Cool Dads Crew
