My Mom's Potato Salad


Fourth of July is a time for BBQs and fireworks. No American BBQ is complete without baked beans and potato salad. My mom makes the best potato salad ever and doesn't mind me sharing her simple recipe.




6 medium potatoes
6 hard boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dill mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, diced

Instructions:
Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain potatoes and allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, dill mustard, and sugar; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and potatoes. Peel and roughly dice 4 of the 6 hard-boiled eggs and add to the bowl. Mix together all ingredients. Taste for seasoning. Pour the potato salad into a serving dish and garnish the top with the last 2 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced.

Yield: Serves About 8

I think you are missing a few ingredients here. Blow 3 kisses, continuously curse miraclewhip, secret herbs on her windowsill, hair of snaggletooth, bless Brandon, & say it's the best potato salad you've ever made. Don't forget, "NOBODY EVER REALLY KNOWS ANYBODY's recipe!"
