Gotcha. I don't like the yellow in it either. But I do like it with

Flo's Potato Salad
From chef and author Emeril Lagasse

Flo's Potato Salad Potato Salad with that special Emeril BAM! on Good
Morning America.

Ingredients

# 6 large eggs
# A pinch plus 2 teaspoons salt
# 3 pounds new potatoes, washed and quartered
# 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cut into small dice
# 3/4 cup mayonnaise
# 1/4 Creole or whole-grain mustard
# 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
# 1 teaspoon hot sauce
# 3/4 cup finely chopped red onions
# 1/2 cup chopped green onions or scallions (green part only)
# 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
# 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Directions

1. Put the eggs in the saucepan and cover with water, add the pinch of
salt. Bring to a boil and boil for two minutes. Turn off the heat,
cover, and let stand for ten minutes. Drain, then cool in a bowl of
ice water. Peel and chop.

2. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with 1 teaspoon of the salt
and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to
medium and cook until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from the
heat and drain. Let cool to room temperature.

3. In a large salad bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon
juice, hot sauce, red onions, green onions, garlic, the remaining 1
teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Whisk to blend. Add the eggs,
potatoes, and bacon and toss to coat evenly. Keep refrigerated until
ready to serve.

Makes 6 to 8 servings
