You’ve got a ton of potatoes starting to sprout and stocked up on enough eggs to make omelets for a village, so what are you going to do? Well make homemade potato salad, duh! This easy potato salad with egg recipe is ridiculously delicious and I wish I could take credit for it. But actually my cousin made it for my boys and I when we went to her farm for the afternoon recently. I was like, “I need this recipe!” because I have never had potato salad with radishes and cucumbers. It was a game-changer. She called it “Cowboy Potato Salad” (Um, OK) and said people go nuts for it. No kidding! So here we are.
Easy Potato Salad
What makes this recipe so easy is that you boil the potatoes and eggs together! I swear I had this done in 30 minutes from start to finish. Also you can throw in everything starting to look iffy in your fridge! Score. Got cherry tomatoes? Toss them in there. Got baby carrots? Shred them and toss them in. Anything goes. Just make sure you have a lot of Hellmann’s.

One thing that I add because my grandma always did is–shrimp! It is so good added in! I just buy a tray of the already cooked, and cut them up into 3-4 pieces. We eat the rest of the shrimp that we don’t add to the potatoes. I just throw it in until it looks good. I agree that this is such a great go-to summer salad!
What a great idea! I will add shrimp the next time. Thanks for sharing this tip!
