Potato Salad Recipe

Potato salad makes a good chief dish for the unexpected guest and is

easily prepared. The child should be told to select medium-sized

potatoes, at least one for each person and after scrubbing with a brush

to get perfectly clean, put on with boiling water enough to cover and

boil gently until tender, then drain and set aside to cool. This can be

done at dinner time, when the fire is hot, and save extra trouble. When

the potatoes are cold the skins can be easily removed, and the potatoes

then cut in thin slices. Next she should peel and cut in very thin

slices one small onion (unless the family taste prefers more) and

arrange the alternate layers of sliced potatoes and onions, well

seasoned with salt and pepper, in a pretty salad bowl. It looks

attractive, too, tossed lightly on lettuce leaves arranged on a small

platter. Over the whole then pour the boiled salad dressing, or the

French, as the family prefer, and when the potato salad is ready to

serve it should be garnished with sprigs of parsley and slices of

hard-boiled egg.
