Potato Salad

  • Add potatoes to a steamer basket and steam for about 15 minutes, or until tender enough to be pierced by a fork.

  • Drain potatoes and rinse with cold water.
  • If using small potatoes, cut them into 4 pieces. If using larger potatoes, cut into bite sized chunks. Place in large bowl.
