I usually make my homemade potato salad. Takes about and hour to cook the potatoes and eggs and 15 mins to chop and mix.
I put on a large pan of potatoes about 5 pounds and add 19 or 12 eggs in among the potatoes. cover with water and let boil for about an hour. Dump them into a strainer in the sink and let cool. Then peel and dice and then I add a diced onion. Add miracle whip to cover and mix. I usually add a little sugar but not everyone likes it. You can also add a little mustard if you like.
I just let everthing cook and then cool while I am sewing.
Doesn't take long to put together once everything is cooked.
This is my standby for any dinner whether a potluck or family dinner.
