Servings: persons

6 cups boiled peeled and sliced potatoes
3 chopped hard-boiled eggs
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 -3 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or 1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
paprika

1
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle relish until uniform in color and texture.
2
Add vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed and mix thoroughly.
3
Pour sauce over potatoes and eggs; mix gently until potatoes and eggs are evenly coated. (I suggest adding the sauce half at a time so that you can add only enough to coat the potatoes and not have soupy salad!).
4
Put potato salad into serving bowl and garnish as desired with sprinkled paprika (to taste), reserved slices of egg, etc.
5
Store in refrigerator for up to 2 days; serve cold.
6
This recipe may be made vegan by omitting eggs and substituting vegan mayonnaise.
