I thought I'd share a simple recipe with everyone, since I just made some for dinner.

[livejournal.com profile] hafoc's suggestion for a future variation is to add some crumpled crisp bacon. Or maybe some diced ham.

This is a depression era recipe, grandma stewed her own tomatoes and grandpa often got produce and eggs in barter for his work as a carpenter. With five children it made a cheap meal.

Grandma Beaudoin's Hot Potato Salad
(All amounts are approximate, it's potato salad after all.)

6-8 cups potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks/large dice
4 eggs, hard boiled, chopped
1 onion (small to medium) diced small
1 can stewed tomatoes (15 oz), drained* and cut into chunks
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Boil potatoes until cooked through. Drain and do not rinse. Add all other ingredients to hot potatoes and season to taste.

Told you it was simple. :)

*Save the drained juice for other recipes. Or use it to make a nice Bloody Mary.
