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.

MY GRANDMA'S BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or paring knife. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2" to 3/4" square pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar. Toss the potatoes with the vinegar and set the potatoes aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the celery and the green onions to the potato mixture. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed and salt and pepper. Fold into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

MOM'S BEST POTATO SALAD
This recipe was shared with me by my mom. This is THE BEST potato salad I have ever had! Whenever we have family get-togethers, I always ask my mom to bring this salad! The vegetables add such a nice refreshing crunch. My mom also likes to add 1/4 cup diced green pepper and 1/4 cup diced cucumber, but I prefer it without.

Steps:
- Boil potatoes, with skins on, until tender.

- Mix ingredients for dressing and refrigerate until needed.
- Combine potatoes, vegetables, and 2 sliced hard boiled eggs.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Their waxy texture holds its shape well in potato salad.
- Boil potatoes until tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
- Cool potatoes completely before adding dressing: This prevents the dressing from thinning out.
- Use homemade mayonnaise: It's creamier and tastier than store-bought mayonnaise.
- Add ingredients to taste: Adjust the amount of mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to your liking.
- Chill potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Such as parsley, chives, or dill.
