Potato Salad

This recipe isn't exact science, so feel free to modify it according to your taste. By my best recollection, this is how my mom (Jimmy's mom) made it. 

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 Large Potatoes
  • 2-3 Eggs, hard boiled
  • 1 Celery stalk
  • 1 Cucumber, medium-sized
  • 1/2 Onion, medium-sized (red or yellow onion)
  • 1/4 Green Pepper
  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into roughly half inch cubes. 
  • Boil the potatoes for about 8 to 10 minutes (but not too long, because then they start to fall apart) and consider adding salt to the boiling water.
  • Drain the boiled potatoes and add them to a large bowl.
  • Boil the eggs for about 10 minutes. Let them cool, then peel them, dice them, and add them to the big bowl.
  • Dice the celery, cucumber, onions, green pepper, and add them to the big bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cup of mayonnaise with the two tablespoons of mustard.
  • Add the mayonnaise and mustard mixture to the big bowl and stir it up well.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let it chill in the fridge and then serve cold.
