You know I love classics, I do! But I always feel the need to add something unexpected, or give it my personal touch. Just like this “Potato and Egg Salad with Roasted Red Peppers”. It was my plan all alone to make the classic salad but when I saw the jar of roasted peppers, I couldn’t help myself! And I am glad. It turned out delicious!
The roasted peppers definitely give it another dimension of flavor, one more deep than just mayo and mustard dressing. I made this for lunch for me and my mom, we just ate it with crackers and a bunch of pepperoncini peppers. Yes! more peppers!

- Once the eggs are done, peel them, chop them and add to the potatoes.
