Potato Salad
Add potatoes to a steamer basket and steam for about 15 minutes, or until tender enough to be pierced by a fork.
While potatoes are cooking, dice red onion, celery and peppers. Slice green onions. Set aside.
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.
