Potato salad is a popular staple at most cookouts and potlucks. Whether it is American potato salad or German potato salad, it is sure to be a big hit. Switch it up at your next family cookout. Instead of going to the store and buying the same old potato salad you always bring, try making blue cheese potato salad. Don't forget to bring the recipe, because everyone who tries it is going to want it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Five pounds of new red potatoes
  • Half a cup of dry white wine
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • One and 1/4th cups mayonnaise

  • Five minced green onions

Step1
Put all of your potatoes into a large pot.
Step2
Pour cold water over the potatoes until they are all covered.
Step3
Boil the potatoes until they're tender.
Step4
Drain the water from the pot and set the potatoes aside so they can cool a bit. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel them.
Step5
Slice the potatoes into pieces about an inch big.
Step6
Put the sliced potatoes into another bowl.
Step7
Pour the white wine over the potatoes. Season it with salt and pepper and toss the mixture so it coats all of the potatoes.
