My mother in law invented this salad at her husband's sandwich shop in Boston Mass during WW2. Don't let the ingredients fool you. It looks so simple, but I have never served it that someone didn't ask me for the recipe.

How To Make 4th of july potato salad

  • Step 1
    Boil potatoes until fork tender...chop into cubes 1/2 " . Boil eggs until hard. Place in cold water unpeeled to remove shells easily. Chop finely.
  • Step 2
    If you have a parsley cutter..slice parsley in fine pieces. Can use up to 1/2 cup of chopped parsley.

    Stir potatoes and Mayo together. Add eggs and rest of ingredients. refrigerate. voila ! I usually taste it the next day to see if it needs salt or Mayo. I just cut egg slices on top and a few parsley sprigs and a little paprika ( Hungarian). that is it!
