9 medium potatoes
2 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 cups celery, diced
1 cup sweet onion, diced
3/4 cup dill pickle, diced
9 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

1
Bring whole potatoes to a boil in a large covered pan. Boil for 25 minutes.
2
Drain potatoes well and peel while still warm.
3
Quarter and dice potatoes (I dice mine a little larger then what I'd like because they break down a bit in the mixing and become the perfect size)
4
Add potatoes to large salad bowl.
5
Add diced celery, onion and dill pickle.
6
Combine mayonnaise through salt in a small mixing bowl to make the perfect potato salad dressing.
7
Stir the dressing into the potato mixture.
8
Add chopped eggs.
9
Stir well.
10
Cover potato salad and place in the refrigerator for a good hour to allow the potatoes to meld with the flavors of the other ingredients. It will be worth the wait!
