I had a couple or three left over baked potatoes that I had cut in half and left in the refrigerator overnight to cool. I decided to cube them up (left the peel on) and made potato salad out of them . I added 3 chopped boiled eggs. Some mayo, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, chopped green onion, some pickle relish. black pepper, and a teaspoon or so of yellow mustard. I was out of celery or I would have chopped some and added it in. The now dry baked potatoes soaked up the dressing nicely and it made a very tasty potato salad. Not at all watery or runny or too sweet. n Nice source of resistant starch for the gut.
