Potato Salad

Potato salad is the perfect take along side dish for a fun family barbecue, vibrant neighborhood shindig, or quiet picnic by the lake. Today, making potato salad has never been easier, thanks to our microwaves.

Here’s How to Microwave Them:

Thoroughly wash eight large red potatoes. Pierce several holes into each potato with a fork. Place the potatoes on a rimmed microwave safe dish and pour ¼ cup water onto the dish. Cover the dish with a microwave safe lid. Microwave whole potatoes on full power for about 15 minutes. Let dish sit for ten minutes inside the microwave. Use caution lifting the microwave lid as the potatoes and water may still be hot. Insert a fork into the center of the potato to test if they are fork tender. If the centers are fork tender, they are done. Let them cool down, discard water, and cut potatoes in chunks. If potatoes are not soft or cooked through, cover and continue to microwave, about 5 minutes longer, until tender.
