Irish Lady Potato Salad
- 2 pounds great potatoes (see headnote)
- 1 cup best mayonnaise, Hellmans or home made
- 8 scallions, chopped on diagonal, green & white
- 1 cup slivered radishes- any kind I love the Easter egg & French Breakfast
- flaked Salt & fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup minced chives + chive blossoms when you can get them
- Boil potatoes in salted water until very tender, they should mash easily with a fork- same level of done-ness for a mashed potato
- Drain and let cool, but only slightly they should be very warm but not HOT HOT
- Add mayonnaise, I know it may seem wrong, but what happens is the hot potatoes absorb the mayonnaise, and become crazy delicious.
- Mash mayo into potatoes with a fork, you are going for lumpy mashed potato texture
- Mix in scallions and season to taste
- You can serve at this temp or room temp or let cool in the fridge, right before served flutter the radishes and chives on top and an extra bit of crunchy sea salt flakes & black pepper
- This is insanely good with Beer Can Chicken.
