MY MOM'S GOOD OLD POTATO SALAD
I have enjoyed this recipe for years, and now so do my children. The secret to this recipe is the sweet pickles. You can also trade the mayo for salad dressing.

MOMMA'S POTATO SALAD
My mother used to make the best potato salad. Anytime we had a family gathering everyone requested she make her potato salad. Unfortunately I lost my mother before I could get her original recipe, but from experience of knowing the ingredients she used this recipe is the closest I have came. It's the same but not my mothers touch, as everyone would know a mother's touch is always the best. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

MY MOM'S POTATO SALAD
To me, my mom made the best potato salad ever. When she passed away, I thought that it was gone forever. Well, after playing around with it, I decided that I should write it down so it wouldn't be lost. This is a plain potato salad, so if you want to perk it up go ahead. I like to use russet potatoes. The time for cooking eggs isn't included in cook time. Cook time is also chill time. Posted September 14th, 2005.

Steps:
- Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 30-40 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato, but not too soft that they just fall apart. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool (I usually put the potatoes in the fridge to cool).
- Once your potatoes are cool, peel and dice. Place diced potatoes, diced celery, and pickles in a large bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl (sometimes I will set aside 1 egg and slice it to put on top of the potato salad for presentation - totally not necessary, it's just what my mom always did).
- In a separate small bowl, mix your mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potato mixture in the big bowl and gently fold together. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with Salad Supreme seasoning. As mentioned before, you can also save 1 hard boiled egg to slice and add it to the top.

Tips:
- Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, but not too soft. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy in the salad.
- Use a variety of potato types for a more interesting flavor and texture. For example, you could use a combination of Yukon Gold, red, and white potatoes.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- Add some fresh herbs to the salad for a pop of flavor. Dill, parsley, and chives are all good choices.
- Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a bit of garlic powder or onion powder.
- Serve the salad chilled. This will help the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato salad that is bursting with flavor and sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
