Instructions
First you must place the potatoes in a sauce pan (or whatever else) and set them to boil. They should cook for 15 to 20 minutes and it may help to cut them into half or chunks. Remember too also boil the egg at this time. While they cook, go ahead and prepare the vegetables and other ingredients. Once time is up, take the potatoes off the stove and chill them so they don't over cook. You may want to chop the potatoes into more bite size pieces if you haven't already. Now with everything prepared place the ingredients into a large bowl and mix everything together. When the mixture of the salad is consistent, stop tossing. Place a plastic sheet or wrap over the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night.

Variations
