Cousin Lori’s Potato Salad

It’s very simple with not a lot of ingredients, just savory, potatoey, eggy, goodness. I’ve been making it so long and haven’t had to think about measurements for a while, but I think it is pretty accurate. :grimacing:

I usually do 1-2 potatoes per person (figure on 2nds). Here’s my recipe for 5 potatoes. Please note the Egg, Onion & Celery preparations below.

  • 5 Idaho Potatoes. Boil whole w/skin on. Drain.

  • 10 Eggs. Boil.

  • 1 Med. Brown Onion

  • 1-2 Celery Stalks (depending on size & preference)

  • 2+ Cups Best Foods (Hellman’s) Mayo (I like Mayo)

  • About 3/4 Cup Yellow Mustard (more if you like)

  • About 1 heaping tsp Sugar

  • Can add Relish (I prefer to have it as a condiment on the side, because it makes the salad watery, imo)

  • Peel cooked potatoes & cut in 3/4” squares (approx)

  • Use a box grater (big hole side) to grate Eggs & Onions or chop very fine.

  • Chop Celery very fine.

  • Combine Mayo, Mustard, Pepper & lots of Salt (potatoes like salt). Then fold in Potatoes, Onions & Celery.
