Carol Patton recipe: (not instant pot)


6 eggs
10? potatoes - depends on size
dill relish
pickle juice
diced garlic
onions, diced really fine




It takes 10 minutes to cook diced potatoes and 15 minutes to cook eggs.  Then I put in relish and with a little bit of diced garlic and pickle juice.  You need about half a jar of mayo and it needs to be pretty runny.  Pour dressing on potatoes and finely diced onions.  Just a little bit of onions and it should be diced really fine.  To cook eggs put water and eggs into a pan on the stove.  when it starts boiling turn off heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.


Mash eggs with fork to make them blend with potatoes
