THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD
This recipe is right off the Hellman's mayonnaise jar. To me, it's so good it rivals my mother in law's potato salad, which I think is the best there is. It's a plain and simple potato salad, but it's delicious! Add pimentos, olives, or green peppers depending on what you like in your potato salad.

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.

Steps:
- Toss some hot boiled new potatoes with the olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. Leave to cool, then toss with quartered hard-boiled eggs. Toss with wild rocket leaves and some diced cucumber to serve.
Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked, so they won't get mushy in the salad.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will be too soft and will fall apart in the salad.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Gently toss to coat.
- Add any other desired ingredients, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, or pickles.
- Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the salad to chill.
