Potato Salad

I did it!!! After 19 years of marriage and learning to cook I made my first potato salad!!! (I know what you all must be thinking. REALLY???) Yes I have not always liked potato salad and would mostly pick at the potato as I hate celery and pickle relish and almost EVERY SINGLE SALAD that is an Ingredients. So I took it upon myself to take several recipes and make my own. It has been getting great comments the first two times I made it. So I am adding it now. (Because we all know how soon I forget things)

Ingredients:

5 to 6 medium to large potatoes; peeled
5 eggs
1 1/2 dill pickles; cut into small pieces
green onion/chives finely chopped
1 cup mayo
2 tablespoons pickle juice (juice from dill pickle jar without peppercorns)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
salt and pepper to taste


Wash and peel potatoes and boil till tender. While cooking boil 5 eggs. Chop pickles, onion/chives and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl combine mayo, pickle juice, mustard, and salt and pepper. mix together till creamy and set aside. Drain and cool eggs and chop. Once potatoes are done I found that placing them on a cutting board and using a wooden spoon to break apart works best as to hot to hold and cut. Place potatoes, eggs, and mixture in bowl and mix, being careful to not mash potatoes.

You can always add celery if you wish, just that we prefer without.
