Way Too Easy Mayo Potatoes
"This is another recipe where we never really measure, so here goes. Leftovers are gooood, especially the next day, cold is fine too. We always have this when we fix Corned Beef and No, It's NOT Chinese Lemon Chicken. We sometimes add crumbled crispy bacon."

- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 4 -5 medium potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-2 inch chunks
- 1 large onion, cut in half and sliced fairly thick
- 1⁄2 cup cider vinegar (any vinegar is fine)
- 2⁄3 cup mayonnaise (we prefer Hellmans)
- 1 tablespoon of finely cut fresh chives or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- salt
- water (of course)
directions
- Bring water to boil in a large saucepan, add salt, vinegar and potatoes.
- When water comes back to the boil lower heat and put lid on saucepan.
- Cook about 10-15 minutes, test potatoes with a skewer or fork; they should be quite firm still, add onions and cover again. Cook a further 4-5 minutes and test again. Potatoes should be just done but not falling apart (they need a little firmness to keep some shape) and the onions should retain some crunch.
- Drain, fold in mayo, avoiding breaking them up too much.
- Place in serving bowl and sprinkle chives or dill over top.

A keeper. A little different and quite tasty. Very easy. Followed Sharon123's suggestion and made potato salad from the leftovers. That was good too! Thanks for posting...Janet -
Simple and delicious potatoes. Sort of like a hot potato salad. I mixed the dill right in. Thanx for a new and different potato recipe! -
A different way of cooking potatoes that gives a tang to the finished dish. Very easy to make and a "keeper" for me :) -
Yum! I enjoyed this warm, and later, cold. The leftovers will be mixed with some celery and a little dill pickle to have potato salad. Thanks!

Originally from New Orleans; are we food obsessed or what?? Sent to boarding school at a very young age where our major gripe was the food, of course. I swore never to eat stuff I did not like ever again. Life is too short for that nonsense. Its easier to list dislikes than likes/loves, so:
Curry (every poverty stricken third world country reeks of curry, yuk!)
Eggplant anything (I don't care how fancy you disguise aubergine, its still slimy eggplant).
Pumpkin anything (I hear its good food for pigs...give 'em my share).
Brussel sprouts (who in hell decided these were fit for human consumption?)
