How to make it
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
- Place potatoes in water in large pan, salt and bring to boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and cook potatoes for approximately 15-20 minutes. Potatoes should be cooked but not mushy.
- While cooking potatoes boil 1 dozen eggs.
- When done, drain potatoes and eggs, and place in fridge to cool (approximately 1 hour)
- After cooling, cut potates into "bite size" pieces and put in large bowl.
- Cut up 6 hard boiled eggs into "bite size" pieces and place in bowl.
- Dice small onion and add to potatoes and eggs.

- Sorry .. mayonaise just doesn't work as well in this recipe.
