Potato / Mac Salad

Ingredients

• White rose (salad) potatoes
• Elbow macaroni
• Frozen peas
• Eggs
• Carrots
• Onions
• Chopped olives
• Mayonnaise
• Salt / pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil potatoes in a large pot until you can poke a fork into it with ease...don't overcook it though as it'll fall apart in the pot. When potatoes are done cooking, put in a colander to drain. I wash the pot at this time and use if for boiling of the eggs and macaroni.

2. 2

   Put eggs in pot with water until it starts boiling then add macaroni and cook until it's at the texture you like it...again don't overcook it!

3. 3

   While the potatoes are cooking, I do all the prep work of other ingredients (chop the onions into small pieces (almost mincing it) as it's just for taste, grate the carrots, boil the frozen peas.

4. 4

   When the potatoes and macaroni are done, I use a butter knife to peel the potatoes and cut into whatever size pieces I like them.

5. 5

   Put the potatoes, macaroni in a large mixing bowl or whatever container you are planning to use to mix the salad which would depend on how much you are making.

6. 6

   Add the onions, carrots (I squeeze all the juice from the carrots before) and salt/pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Add the cooked peas, chopped olives and mayonnaise.

8. 8

   Mix to whatever consistency you want. Keep in mind that the mayonnaise will be absorbed by the macaroni so it's a good idea to put a little extra.

9. 9

   Chill and serve.
