Diane's Scotch-Irish Potato Salad image

This is my mother's recipe and is a combination of my two grandmothers' potato salad recipes. It leans a little to the Irish side. My mother's maiden name is McClain and her mother's maiden name is McBee. I like to make this the night before so the flavors will blend.

Time 55m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 pounds red potatoes
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped red onion
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup sliced green olives with pimentos
1 cup dill pickle relish
½ cup sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ cup prepared mustard, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

  • Lightly stir celery, red onion, eggs, black olives, green olives, dill pickle relish, sweet pickle relish, and paprika with potatoes until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix in mustard, vinegar, and mayonnaise; stir lightly until all ingredients are coated and moist. If salad isn't moist enough, stir up to 1/2 cup more mayonnaise into salad.
