Drain Potatoes for Potato Salad

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rich Buccola and today on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make some good old fashion American potato salad. On Expert Village I actually made German potato salad very similar to American potato salad. The trick that you know that your potatoes are done you should be able to stick a fork in them and you won't be able actually to pick them up. If you get a hard one they won't fall off, so basically nothing I can pick up so your potatoes are pretty much done. I mean the fork goes straight through it's so easy that is what you're looking for. So you put a colander in your sink. I'll use a towel, some pot rags add all your potatoes all into there. Come over here turn off your flame and what I'll do is just some people rinse their potatoes. I don't, I leave the starch it's good it absorbs everything. Put them right into there and what I'll do now is just let them cool a little bit when I come back together we'll be mixing all this together and making American potato salad here on Expert Village."
