NAN'S CLASSIC MUSTARD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in the peel with the whole eggs.
• Remove the eggs after 10 minutes of boiling, and remove and drain the potatoes when just fork tender.
• Let eggs and potatoes cool to room temperature.
• Peel all and refrigerate whole potatoes and eggs until cold.
• The potatoes will dice and hold up better when cold.
• Dice the potatoes into 1/4- 3/8" dice.
• Place into a very large container with a lid.
• (I have a 4 1/2 qrt glass bowl-shaped casserole with lid that's perfect.) Crumble the eggs (I do this by squishing them in my hand) and add to the container with the diced potatoes.
• Very finely (like the size of dill relish pieces) chop the onion, celery and pickles.
• Add to the potatoes and eggs.
• Gently stir to mix the ingredients evenly.
• In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle juice, cream, salt, pepper and sugar.
• Whisk until creamy.
• Pour over potato mixture.
• Gently stir until the dry particles are coated with the creamy mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• 6- 8 hours is even better.
• If you like color you can sprinkle some sweet paprika over the top.
