Potato Salad

I have now made this recipe twice and I figure I should write it down or I will forget it.  If I'm going to write it down, I might as well write it on here so everyone can see it!  I made this the first time for Riley's birthday party and it was a huge hit. I made it again for 4th of July dinner and my Aunt-in-law loved it so much she asked to borrow a cooler so she could take some home (she lives two hours away and she wanted to make sure it stayed cool!).  Anyway...here's the recipe: )

10 red potatoes, scrubbed and washed
24 oz mayonnaise 
1/4 cup yellow mustard4-5 celery stalks, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped 
12 oz sweet relish 
Salt, pepper and paprika to taste
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.  Boil for 15 or so minutes (cooking time will depend on size of potatoes), until potatoes are soft.  Remove from pot and set aside to cool.  In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, celery, green onions, relish and seasonings.  When potatoes are cool chop into cubes and stir into mayo mixture.  I always add the eggs last and stir gently so they don't end up pulverized: )  Cool for at least an hour before serving. Both times I made this, I made it a day ahead to let the flavors combine.

  1. Oh and I forgot! The first time I made this I put in half a pound of cooked and crumbled bacon: )
