NAN'S CLASSIC MUSTARD POTATO SALAD
I'm always asked to share this recipe, and people are often surprised to see how similar the ingredients are to their own recipe. While the ingredients may be similar to other posted recipes, the technique is the key to this outstanding potato salad. The specific ingredients are important, too. Russets absorb the flavors best, but don't hold their shape well. Dicing them after they are cold, and folding the other ingredients in gently, takes care of that problem. Don't skimp on the mayo and other dressing ingredients. The potatoes will absorb a lot of moisture, and you want a creamy salad. Another key to flavor and texture is the very fine chopping of the onion, celery and pickle. You want the flavors to disperse throughout the whole dish, but when you take a bite, you want to bite into potato, not an onion chunk. For smaller apetites and crowds, you can halve the quantity easily. In Louisiana and other states where they serve Cajun food, potato salad is often served with gumbo.

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.

CLASSIC AMERICAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD
Most potato salads look and taste better when made with low-starch red boiling potatoes. For Classic American-Style Potato Salad, you can use any size of this variety, but the small new potatoes cook 10 to 15 minutes faster than the larger ones. Choose potatoes that are all roughly the same size, if possible, so they cook in the same time.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD
The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
- As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
- Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

A grainy mustard will add a nice flavor and texture to the salad. - Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon. - Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.Conclusion:
Classic mustard potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
