Mrs. Kim's Potato Salad (the best ever!)

I think this is the best potato salad. Not much to it, but sometimes I feel people get carried away and overload potato salad.

5 lb red potatoes or dutch yellow potatoes (skin on)
6-8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1.5-2 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons celery seed
salt and pepper taste

Chop potatoes in half or in quarters depending on size.  Add salt and water to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes. You do not want to under cook or over cook the potatoes since it will result in a mushy potato salad.  The potatoes are done when a fork goes in easily.  Cool on a cutting board, but do not let them sit for too long or they will turn dark.

Chop potatoes in into small chunks leaving the skin on.  Add chopped egg and celery salt. Start with 1.5 cups of mayo. Stir and add more if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serves 15-20 people.

  1. Yeah! I saw your facebook post and got really excited. Here's to (potential) neighbors having summer cookouts together!

    And my recipe is just potatoes, mayo, red onion, celery, salt, pepper, a spoon of dijon, and a handful of fresh dill!
