Ok here is how I put this epic Potato Salad together!

Ingredients: Potato Salad

• 3 lbs potatoes about 5 medium potatoes
• 5 eggs
• 2 stalks celery or celery seed
• 5 green onion or white onion or onion powder
• paprika to taste
• salt & pepper to taste

Dressing

• 1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup sweet relish
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp white vinegar
• 2 tsp sugar

Instructions: Potato Salad

• Fill large pot (for potatoes) over the stove over high heat and one medium pot (for eggs) and bring both to a boil
• Add eggs to medium pot before boiling and boil them for 10 mins and let set in hot water for 2 for a hard boiled eggs
• While the pot is coming to a boil, scrub peel and cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes
• Add diced potatoes to the large boiling pot and make sure they are covered with water. Add a couple teaspoons of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

If you are in the market of new cookware, I love my OUR PLACE SET- HERE perfect pots for boiling and so easy to clean!

• Cook potatoes until they are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Watch closely and do not overcook or the potatoes will become mushy. Drain and set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, sugar and vinegar. (all dressing ingredients)

Absolutely, love these stainless steel VIKING BOWL SET HERE, they have non slip bottoms, nestle within one another for storage, and have lids that fit air tight on top of them. They are perfect for mixing, serving and storing your delicious eats in the kitchen.

I also love these stainless steel Measuring Cups & Measuring Spoons HERE -they store wonderfully as they nest within one another, are magnetic, and have color coded handles for easier measuring

• Once eggs are done crack and slice them and add to potato salad.
• Add potatoes and stir to coat completely. Fold in eggs, celery and green onions. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. If desired, top with a few sliced eggs and a sprinkle of paprika.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Make sure to place air tight lid on the bowl and store in refrigerator overnight.

Hope you try it and enjoy!

This is a way to keep his memory alive right here on my blog to help other families RECLAIM THE TABLE and spend more time with their families building intentional memories around the dinner table.

Crazy Busy Mama Tip:

If you don't have fresh celery or onion on hand, feel free to use a substitute like onion powder and celery seed like I showed in tutorial. As a Crazy Busy Mama, I am always looking to use what I have on hand instead of going to the store to buy more. There is typically always a substitute for a missed ingredient. 

Ideally you will want to make this potato salad a day ahead so you can store in refrigerator overnight. If you didn't make ahead of time you need at least 4-6 hours in refrigerator prior to serving.
