SUPER QUICK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Microwave potatoes on high for about 3 minutes, check to see if they are tender by squeezing lightly. If they yield to pressure but don't feel quite tender, turn them over and rotate position and microwave in 30 second increments until just done but NOT soft and mushy. Remember they continue to cook for a while as they sit. Let cool on countertop while chopping other items. They may still be warm when you peel them, and that's ok.
• 2. Chop celery, pickle, and onion. Place in medium bowl. Add mustard, vinegar and 1/2 c dressing of your choice, mix well. (if it is too sharp from the vinegar, add a pinch or two of sugar)
• 3. Peel and chop potatoes into about 1/2- 3/4 inch dice, add to dressing/veggie mixture, season with pepper and salt, mix together lightly but thoroughly, adding extra mayo/Miracle Whip if needed.
• 4. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.

SUPER-ZESTY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Make the mayonnaise: Put the egg yolks in a food processor and add the vinegar, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn on the machine and very slowly start to drizzle in the oil (drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then you can start adding it in a slow, steady stream). If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a few drops of water; if it is not thick enough, add a little more oil with the motor running.
• Make the salad: Put the potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the onion, celery and vinegar. Season with salt.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (discard the garlic). Add the bacon-onion mixture to the hot potatoes and stir to incorporate. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise and the mustard and season with salt. Refrigerate until cold.

FAST AND EASY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the eyes and blemishes off the potatoes. Skin them if you prefer but I think they're delicious and they're definitely more nutritional!
• Rinse the potatoes and place them in the microwave undried.
• Microwave the potatoes (three at a time if you're making a double or triple recipe for the whole family or a potluck) spaced evenly apart on HIGH for THREE MINUTES.
• Chop your green onions. Chop your pickle and eggs if desired.
• Flip the potatoes over (careful, they're hot!) and microwave on HIGH for THREE MINUTES more.
• Mix the mayo, spices, onions, and optional pickle and eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
• Let the potatoes rest in the microwave for a few minutes (they will continue to cook).
• Test the doneness of the potatoes with a knife or fork by piercing into the center of each one. If the knife does not go in smoothly or there is resistance, repeat the microwaving process above in increments of ONE MINUTE.
• Place the cooked potatoes immediately into a bowl of cold water. Let cool for a few minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces (usually halves and then eights will do) - careful, they may still be hot inside.
• Mix potatoes with sauce mixture, and enjoy!
