I’m going to have a few dozen hard-boiled eggs to use – what are some good recipes for deviled-eggs or potato/macaroni salad with hard boiled eggs in them? I’m not a great cook, so does anyone have any simple recipes?

I have a really good potato salad recipe.

5 pounds of potatoes
1 small jar of sweet pickles
1 small onion
salt and pepper
mayo, never measured, just put it in till it looks right.
1 1/2 dozen to 2 dozen eggs.
3/4 cup of so of sugar, I never measure this either. I just pour and taste. So when you get the taste you like, stop.

I cut up the potato’s in bit size pieces, then boil them.

Drain, Run cold water over them to help cool them, drain.

Cut up your eggs, all but 6 to 8, to put in the salad. Add.

Cut up the sweet pickles in small pieces. Add.

Cut up your onion, add.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Add 1/2 of the jar of sweet pickle “juice”.

Add sugar.

Add mayo till it looks right.

Stir it all up.

With the leftover eggs, cut them in full slices going longways and lay them on top to look pretty.

Enjoy.
( you can also make macaroni salad with this, just use 1 pound of mac. noodles in stead of potato’s.)

Put them in your macaroni or potato salad. Just boiled potato or cooked pasta with diced celery, green onion, tomatoes, several scoops mayonnaise, salt & pepper to taste. Even sliced eggs in a green salad with eggs is good.

Slice the eggs and add to your bowl of ramen.

Refrigerate and pack some hard boiled eggs in the lunch with a little salt shaker for school or work.

Chicken salad is always a favorite for me…here’s the recipe:

3 cups cooked, diced chicken
5 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
mayo to bind

Combine all in a bowl and mix. Serve on crackers or bread.

My family and I like the simplicity of this chicken salad. It’s wonderful!
