MINTED PEA SPRING POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and scrub potatoes or if in my house, peel potatoes as no one likes the skins. Cut in half and place in boiling salted water. Add 4 eggs to this pan or you can boil them separately. They are usually done after about 10 minutes but test with a fork for doneness.
• Add the bag of frozen peas to the water.
• Turn off the heat and cover. You don't want the peas to get mushy and you want them to stay green but still cooked.
• After about 10 minutes, drain in a colander. Peel eggs under cold running water and quarter them.
• Mix your salad dressing of lemon, olive oil, chopped mint, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Pour all into a bowl or casserole dish and toss everything together.
• Top with Parmesan cheese and serve or chill and serve later.
