Making this Potato Salad for Forth of July In The Big Sur Bowl

5 pounds Russet potatoes (about 8 medium Russets)

1 1/2 cups real mayonnaise (NOT miracle whip)

4 tablespoons prepared mustard (regular, dijon or a mixture of both)

3 whole green onions (sliced up to the darkest green part)

8 whole small sweet pickles

1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more, to taste)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4 whole hard boiled eggs

fresh dill, chopped, to taste (may sub for pickles as well if you don't like that taste)

Directions
Hard boil eggs several days before; keep in fridge.

Cut potatoes in halves or thirds, then boil until fork tender. Drain. Mash potatoes or run them through a ricer or food mill to make them extra fluffy. In a Big Sur CaliBowl Fold potatoes together with mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, salt, pepper, and other seasonings you like. Fold in pickles and eggs, then taste for seasonings, adding more salt, mustard, or mayo as needed. You can also splash in juice from the pickle jar if salad needs a little moisture. Generously sprinkle dill over the top.

Assemble salad up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and keep refrigerated

CaliBowl testimonial

I seriously can't get enough of these bowls!!! I use these bowls with all my meals, even with meals that do not require a bowl! CaliBowls just make my meals so much easier. I really don't like having to touch my food when scooping items onto my utensils. I love being able to scoop soup or cereal to the side and not having to touch my food! It's also perfect for chip & dip/salsa!!!



Such a simple idea, yet so brilliant!!!



Thanks CaliBowls for keeping my hands clean!!!

5out of 5

Pros: Dip Bowl Salsababy Bowl

Best Uses: Cereal Soup Dips

These Bowls are amazing for anything you eat out of a bowl. the lip at the top controls the contents and pitches the food back on to your utensile or chip.

This is how i enjoy my cereal
