potato salad I

it’s bockwurst (a spicy german sausage) with potato salad, sa style, for dinner.

the sausages you put in water, bring to boil, remove from the stove and leave for about 5 minutes to heat up. don’t boil them for those 5 minutes otherwise they’ll burst.

the potato salad recipe i got from a neighbour many many moons ago.

boil 6 large potatoes in their skin until soft. leave to cool for a while, then peel and cube. also make 6 hardboiled eggs. cool and cut up. add one medium onion, finely chopped and fresh chives or parsley to taste.

for the dressing: 8 tablespoons mayonnaise (use a thick tangy mayonnaise, not salad cream), 4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk and salt. depending on the mayonnaise you use, you may want to thin it out with milk to get the consistency of thick cream. stir through the salad.

a firm favourite.
