Potatoes, boiled until tender and diced
Hardboiled eggs, chopped
Celery, chopped
Red onion, chopped
Salad olives w/pimientos, chopped
Prepared mustard
Miracle Whip
Salt and pepper
This is the way my mother made potato salad, so I still do it the same way. I love the olives and red onions in it. There are no set amounts for ingredients. This is just a mix-and-taste type recipe. I like a lot of "stuff" in mine, and I like a lot of mustard.
Mix the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, and olives together. Add some mustard and Miracle Whip. Mix and taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more mustard and Miracle Whip as needed.
