"Pumped Up" Potato Salad

SERVES: 8

CHILL TIME: 2 Hr

COOK TIME: 40 Min

We're seriously excited about this neat way to "pump up" your potato salad recipe. Add some celery, peppers, dill, and the secret ingredient: tuna! Mix it all together and our "Pumped Up" Potato Salad is a totally new take on old-fashioned potato salad.

What You'll Need

6 large white potatoes
2 (6 ounce each) cans tuna in water, drained and flaked
1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions (1 to 2 scallions)
2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Place potatoes in a large pot and add just enough water to completely cover them. Bring to a boil and cook 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender; drain and cool.
Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks; place chunks in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix until potatoes are completely coated.
Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

If you want, you can even cook the potatoes a day before making the salad this will cut down on the time needed to chill the salad before serving.
