Gordon Ramsey has nothing on this kitchen nightmare.
So on a Tuesday, as in four days before Saturday, my husband came home and said "So I either signed you up to make potato salad or pasta salad"...understood to be for the Spring Fling that his squadron is hosting on Saturday. Here I am praying "please let it be pasta salad". It was POTATO salad.
Here's the difference between potato salad and pasta salad- you don't have to peel pasta.
I went to the grocery store and procured all the ingredients. After my first batch I realized that I had severely underestimated how much of each ingredient I was going to need to finish all three roasting pan sized trays of potato salad. In the end I used...
6 kgs of potatoes
60 grams of mayo ( 2 HUGE jars)
2 dozen eggs
2 bottles of sweet relish
half a squeeze bottle of yellow mustard,
and four onions.
There was a lot of potato salad made.
Around 4pm my husband called (while I was making the last batch) (mind you I had been at work since 10 am) and said they might need 10 trays instead of three trays. To which my response might have been "Yeah do one. You and the horse you rode in on."
And while I hope they have plenty of potato salad...I hope to goodness I never see a potato EVER again in my lifetime.
