Answer 3

My mom makes the best potato salad. First off she will only use Best Foods mayo, (Hellmans if you are in the south.) Second she boils the potatoes whole, lets them cool, then slips the skins off and cuts potatoes into cubes. Add a tablespoon French's mustard with the mayo. She uses both sweet and dill pickles, celery, black olives and onion chopped very fine. Add salt and pepper and celery salt or seed to taste. Top with sliced boiled egg and a spinkle of paprika.
