GRANDMA'S CREAMY POTATO SALAD
My grandma makes the best potato salad, but she doesn't use a recipe! So I watched while she put together "a little of this and a little of that" and jotted a recipe that comes close. The creamy dressing also works well for making deviled eggs.

Steps:
- Boil cubed potatoes until they are tender. Drain and cool. In a large bowl add celery, onion, 2 eggs and pickled relish. Add the salad dressing, yellow mustard and sugar. Stir well. Place the sliced egg on top of potatoes and sprinkle with paprika and salt. Let the potato salad chill in the refrigerator for 2 1/2 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of yellow and red potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Golds or red potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, like Russets, and won't get mushy when mixed with the dressing.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, about 15 minutes. If you overcook them, they will fall apart when you mix them with the dressing.
- While the potatoes are boiling, make the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- When you add the potatoes to the dressing, be gentle so they don't break apart.
- Chill the potato salad for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the salad to firm up.
