My mama taught me to make this as a little girl. The whole family just LOVES it and to me its really EASY to do, and much better than store bought. It is even KID FRIENDLY!! (I do use raw onions but my kids like them but you can also split the recipe in half and use half the onion in one half and one half without. This is what I do for family events cause my dad won't eat raw onions but loves the potato salad!! This recipe is very adjustable between onions, mustard types, mayo and eggs n' taters!!) Just adjust to your family's taste buds and hopefully you and yours will love it too!!

Steps

30 mins
  1. 1

    Get the potatoes in heavily salted water, begin to slowly boil, to be able to add eggs. Add eggs when boiling starts. Cover and let boil for another 10 - 15 min.

  2. 2

    While the boiling is going on, prepare the onions and precooked garlic (if that's what your using, this is the garlic in the pic) Chop or dice both very finely.

  4. 4

    Once the boiling is finished. Drain the water off of the potatoes and eggs. Cool down easiest way possible.... for me I drain the hot water off and add cold water, then refrigerate while getting other ingredients together. If I'm in a hurry I do an ice bath, pull off the heat, drain, then add ice and cold, COLD water to it. Let it sit for a few min then begin the peeling process. This way the skins of the potatoes will peel straight off with your fingers, nothing else needed.

  5. 5

    Once potatoes are peeled, dice LARGELY!! Peel eggs and dice LARGELY, as well. When you mix everything it will come together great, so go BIGGER on cutting up the POTATOES N EGGS!! That's kinda the great thing about this recipe your cuts don't have to be perfect!! Go ahead and add garlic and seasoning (salt, pepper, creole, ect.) and stir it up!!

  6. 6

    Last step!! Mix it all together!!! Add the mustard, mayo, relish!! The longer you can let it sit, and marinate, it makes it better. I usually make mine the night before and that's the way my family likes it!!
