Potato Salad

**whatnow** · 8th January 2007

I fucking hate this shite from the shops, it tastes like cum and potato's from a can mixed with fuck-knows what else 'they' think is worth adding to boost our metabolism ... so ... I've started to make my own, and it's mighty.

What ya need -
Go dig up some new potato's from the allotment/supersaver - 1kg or so
Get your mitts on some mayo, homemade if you're a tru hardcore fan but hellmans satisfies me (not too much crap in it). - 4-5 tbsp should be plenty
Mustard - 1 tsp or so
Spring Onions - raw is fine
Pepper - some

what ya do -
Boil potats, peel if you are a softy, leave skins on if you understand enrichment.
Let them cool, by the window if you're hungry
Add all the other ingredients, don't go heavy on the mayo, there's no need. Same as pepper and must, add to taste.

Simple and effective. Not amazingly cheap, costs about �3 if you don't have any of the ingredients, but about �1.30 if you just need potats and onions (which can also be omitted).

easy as fook, and this makes about 1.3kg of the stuff! so downsize as required. This is enough for about 12 servings.

Next week, home made homous, you thought it was hard? hell no. just takes fucking ages! nice though...

Sounds about right, I sometimes like to add a bit of salad cream to add to the flavour myself and chives are also nice to add.

How you're going to make humous take a long time to make I don't know, what are you going to do, grow your own chickpeas?

Salad cream is minging

no, but i'm sure most people will consider 30+mins a long time, let alone actually preparing chikpeas overnight on soak.

I suppose you can buy them in cans....
