OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

This family favorite has been passed down for several generations. My daughter told me she'd tried all kinds of recipes and had never found one to top this one. I guestimate on quantify, but here are the ingredients. This is not a German potato salad that is largely vinegar.
