Potato Salad

The girls are always asking me for my potato salad recipe. This is one of those food dishes that I just make without a recipe. So, as few days ago I made it and wrote everything down so I could post it on this blog.

6 potatoes, 4-5 inches long with skins
4-6 boiled eggs
1/2 onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 dill pickles, finely chopped

Score the potatoes with a knife from top to bottom and back to top, and around the middle. (This makes them easy to peel!)
Cover with water in pan and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and continue boiling for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain water and add cold water to the pan. Let set for a while and then remove skins. If potatoes are still warm, refrigerate them to cool them down. You want to assemble this salad when they are cold. Sometimes I will boil the potatoes the night before and put them in the frig to cool over night.

Add eggs, onions and pickles. Toss well

Dressing: (This is the same dressing I use for pasta salad)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 T milk
scant T prepared mustard
1/4 pickle juice (secret ingredient!!!must have!)
Whisk together and pour over potato mixture. Mix in well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle top of salad with paprika for color. Refrigerate!
