Potato Salad

I am attending a work BBQ tomorrow and plan on bringing potato salad. Not that gross German potato salad or anything like that. Good old-fashioned, white trash potato salad. Potato salad should be simple to make and have lots of mayonnaise. Everyone has their own version of it but here is a list of ingredients for the perfect potato salad:

Idaho potatoes
hard boiled eggs
one red onion (or sweet vadalia)
sweet pickle relish
a full jar of mayo (NOT homemade)
Salt
Pepper

If making a batch from a full 5 lb sack of potatoes, you should use 6-10 hard boiled eggs. Also, mix all the ingredients together, chill over night and then taste because you will probably need more mayo, salt & pepper.

I think adding a couple of heaping tablespoons of yellow mustard gives it a slight tang that is just lovely.

Are you making a jello salad to bring to your potluck too?

No jello salad. Will you bring that to Carrie's bbq?
