My grandma had the best potato salad ever!! It was sort of like a lumpy mashed potato potato salad. I do not make mine like my grandma made hers for the reasons that I do not like onions and celery, so I adapted mine and even without the onions and celery it taste just like hers. So I will first give her recipe then my adaptation.
Grandma Smith's Potato Salad:
5 lbs All Purpose Potatoes (diced and cooked till fork tender)
4 eggs (hard boiled and diced)
1 onion (diced)
5 stalks celery (diced)
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2 cup mustard
1 to 2 cups Mayonnaise
3 Tbs Paprika
Paprika to sprinkle of the top
Combine all ingredients and mix well. With the mayonnaise you want to gauge as you are mixing, you want enough to moisten the potato salad so that it does not taste dry. Sprinkle top with paprika. Refrigerate till ready to serve.
