PAULA'S CREAMED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. **Cut up and boil the amount of potatoes you will need to feed the number of people you are serving. For our family of approx 15 people I usually use 5 lbs. red potatoes. (If I am cooking for my family in a hurry at home and using instant potatoes, I just use the scale on the box.)
• 2. While potatoes are hot, mash them with a masher, add the stick of margarine cut into pieces, a little milk, and ***2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise. (I would suggest starting with 2 T and taste after you have blended in the other spices to see if you want more. I love mayo, so I use more) Blend using a mixer. Add more milk a little at a time as you mix until you get the potatoes the creamy consistency you want them. Add generous amounts of salt, pepper, and garlic powder aned continue mixing with the mixer. We love seasoned food, so I do use alot of each of these spices, but I continually taste as I add them.
• 3. **the size of the bowl of potatoes depends upon how many people you are feeding. ***the amount of mayonnaise depends upon your taste preference. (see step 2 above)

PAULA'S FABULOUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Slice potatoes thin and boil until almost tender.
• While potatoes are boiling combine sugar, salt, white vinegar and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. As soon as potatoes are done, drain and put into large bowl. Immediately pour hot marinade over potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let potatoes marinate several hours or over night turning frequently.
• Drain and add celery, dill, onion. Add Mayo and Dijon mustard until desired consistency. You may not have to use all the mayo or you might need more.
• For German potato salad do not add Mayo, add cooked and crumbled bacon.
• For egg potato salad add quartered eggs before adding mayo. Save one egg to slice for the top.
