Day 13: Potato Salad

I love potato salad. I'm trying to stay away from french fries and potato salad is the next best thing for me. It's very simple and easy to do.


Here's my recipe:


2-3 potatoes
parsley
onion
salt (to taste)
extra virgin olive oil
apple cider vinegar
black olives (optional)
bacon (optional)


Boil potatoes. Take them out of the water and cut into cubes. Chop parsley and onion, mix in olive oil, apple cider vinegar and salt. If you like add black olives and crispy bacon. I avoid the bacon and olives for a healthier option. Enjoy


Let me know how your potato salad turned out.
