Sun, Fun and Great Food!
The weather is finally warming up and the sun has decided to hang out a little more often in the sky. These winters in the Midwest can seem so long and dreary! But now we have lots of great weather ahead of us and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s going to be a great summer.
One thing that warmer weather means is that we will be having a lot more get togethers with friends and family. We can’t wait to hang out with everyone for some great food, drink and conversation. Whether it is grilling out at home, going on a picnic or camping out, we are going to enjoy this fresh air!
Of course, here at BubbaPie, we take the food portion of our get togethers seriously. We are always looking for fun, easy and delicious meals to make whatever we are doing even more special. This will hold true with our summer activities. So we thought we’d publish a recipe for one of the most famous of all summer side dishes: Potato Salad!
Potato Salad: A Great Summer Side Dish
We’d love to share this easy Potato Salad with Egg Recipe with you because it’s the perfect side dish to elevate your grilling or picnic to the next level. Using Potato Salad as a side dish is a great idea because it is so easy to serve, share and eat. It isn’t too messy and just about everyone loves a good potato salad!
Also, there are so many different ways you can learn how to make a Potato Salad recipe. Some people like to use yellow mustard, some make German Potato Salad and some people like to put Dill Weed in their recipe. It is one of those dishes that is simple, but can be tweaked in so many ways.
Whatever version you make, be sure to use a pressure cooker to make hard boiled eggs. You will be amazed at how easy they are to peel!
What Are The Best Potatoes To Use For Potato Salad
This is a common question and it can get a little overwhelming. Generally, the rule is that you want a more “waxy” potato and less of a “starchy” potato. Waxy potatoes will hold their shape better when boiled. They also commonly have thinner skin, so that means that you don’t necessarily need to skin them before putting them in the Potato Salad. Some people like the taste of the skin and that more rustic look! A common potato that a lot of people use are the small Red Potatoes or even Yukon Gold. Try to avoid any potato that is more starchy with thick skins, like Russets.
Easy Potato Salad With Egg Recipe
Potato Salad with Egg Ingredients:
- 5 potatoes, cut into 1/2″ cubes
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 hard boiled eggs
- 3/4 cup real mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Potato Salad with Egg Instructions:
As I mentioned above, using the Dill Weed at the end is completely optional. Some people like it and some don’t. Also, the amount of salt and pepper that you use is completely to your taste. A lot of people like to add their own salt and pepper after it is served anyways. We love how the egg looks on top of the potato salad. This will really increase the wow factor at your next cookout or picnic!

This recipe hit most of my quality ingredients standards. I too make a potato salad with egg similar to this recipe…but whenever someone adds pickles or dill to this salad…it kills the taste and all you taste is pickle! Personally I would omit the dill. I use garlic salt instead of powder and don’t be stingy, the potatoes and eggs need seasoning. Add white pepper as well. I’ve never tried celery before, that might be interesting, add some extra crunch. Oh and use green onion instead of regular onion…much more flavor. I get raves over my potato salad so I knows what I am talking abouts. Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
