I don't have a "real" recipe. It's one of those "just throw it together" kind of things. But it's the potato salad that had the toughest lady I know bawling on my shoulder & she wanted the recipe so I tried to write it up. Here ya go....

Peel potatoes. Cut into chunks (probably roughly ½” x 1” – you don’t have to be exact, they just need to be large enough that they don’t turn to complete mush when cooking).

Boil potatoes in lightly salted water just until they crush easily with a fork. I pick them up on a slotted spoon & press them with a fork, when they crush under moderate pressure, they’re ready to use. You don’t want them cooked all the way to “mashed potato softness.”

Drain the potatoes & rinse well under very cold water to remove the excess starch AND to stop the cooking process.

Chop up celery, onions, and pickles. I can’t tell you how much of each because it’s one of those “keep cutting til the spirits tell you to stop” kind of things. You’ll need a lot more pickles that you expect though. The big batch I made at the club used 3 and a half pints of pickles (along with about 6 ribs of celery and 2 large onions).

Mix some mayonnaise (Kraft or it’s generic equivalent) and mustard in a roughly 2/3 mayo to 1/3 mustard ratio.

Stir some salt, pepper, and a lot of paprika into the mayo.

Fold the veggies & mayo/mustard/spices into the potatoes and chill.
