Potato Salad

Ingredients:

·         Red potatoes, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, cut in wedges

·         4 eggs

·         2 stalks thinly sliced celery

·         1 onion, finely chopped

·         2 tablespoons relish

·         3/4 cup mayonnaise

·         ¼ cup mustard

·         Salt and pepper to taste

·         1 to 2 Tbs chopped green onions and/or 1 tsp. paprika (optional garnish)

Preparation:

After scrubbing the potatoes and removing any rough spots, I boil them with the eggs in a pot until potatoes are soft (I leave the skin on after scrubbing them).  Once cooled, shell and chop eggs.  Put eggs and potatoes in a large bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and toss gently to combine well.  Cover; chill for 2 or more hours for best flavor. Garnish with chopped green onion and/or paprika or even tomato wedges if desired.
