This is a good basic egg salad recipe off the top of my brides head and similar to our potato salad recipe.  Excellent taste.

NOTE:  I now use a potato masher instead of the food grater to dice up the eggs which works much faster and better.

BOILED EGGS HACK

Over the decades, I have tried numerous things added to the boiling water to try and get the egg shells to release from the egg without pulling part of the egg with the shell.  I used things like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, etc. and nothing helped.

However without the last year, maybe longer, I watched a video of a lady boiling eggs and tried her technique and it works flawless and here it is.  She also gave a scientific reason why the shell released so good from the egg, but forgot that part.

Add water to your pot and bring to a boil.  Place cold eggs from the refrigerator immediately into the boiling water.  Place lid on pot and boil eggs for at least 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs.  When time is up, drain hot water and add cold water to the pot.  Do this a couple times.  Roll egg onto a paper towel and crush the shell.  It will amaze you how easy the egg shell separates from the egg!
