REALLY GOOD, SIMPLE, FRESH POTATO SALAD- NO MUSTARD- NO RELISH

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, Boil in salted water until tender.
• Hard boil eggs, peel, chop. (obviously lol).
• Finely chop onion.
• *1-2 ribs of finely diced celery is nice, but was not in the original recipe.
• A dash of garlic powder or garlic salt is nice too.
• Judge the amount of Mayo to your taste and # of potatoes, but do add it until it is nice and creamy.
• Mix all ingredients together when warm, serve fresh with-out chilling, if you can, it is good chilled too, but particularly creamy when warm-to room temperature.
• It is also best to use the hardboiled eggs right after cooking, it's ok if they are slightly cooled from peeling, but best in this, if they are freshly cooked.
• Most of the prep time is attributed to the peeling and chopping of the potatoes.
• *Of course, because of the Mayo you won't want to leave it out too long.
• I have also heard (unknown it it's true, but I never take the chance) not to serve anything that has Mayo in it, with Sterling Silver servers.

OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and chop.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, relish, garlic salt, celery salt, mustard, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 mins until just cooked, drain, then cool.
• Cut the potatoes into chunks, then throw into a bowl with the shallots, capers and cornichons, if using. Add enough mayonnaise to bind, then mix together the olive oil and vinegar and add just enough to give a little sharpness to the salad. Stir in the finely chopped parsley and serve.
