Potato salad

For this classic side dish, steam your potatoes, and cut into cubes. Add finely chopped onion, hard-boiled eggs, diced gherkins and mayonnaise. The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary the ingredients for a multitude of flavor combinations. Not a fan of gherkins? Replace them with chopped olives, anchovies, diced tomatoes, etc. Watching your weight? Lighten up the sauce with Greek Yogurt, lemon juice and lots of fresh herbs.
