This yummy potato salad is a favorite of mine...Every time I bring it to a get together, I am asked for the recipe...Try it and see for yourself!

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 lbs red potatoes, with skins on
2 cups mayonnaise (more or less depending on how you like it, Do NOT use fat free or low fat)
1 large onion, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced or 1 teaspoon celery seed
3 carrots, finely diced
1 green pepper, finely diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh finely chopped chives
20 green olives, finely chopped
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1
Peel potatoes, and boil until just done, about 20 minutes. (Just until your fork can be inserted all the way through the potato. You don't want them mushy).
2
Drain well and let cool, then dice or slice potatoes. (I like a small dice, about 1/2"x1/2"). The potatoes will cut nicely once chilled and won't fall apart.
3
Mix other ingredients, and add to chilled potatoes. Let set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving for flavors to meld.
4
Serve chilled.

This potato salad is over the top! It is so good with all the veggies and adding the olives. Great flavor. I cut the potatoes and veggies up small, and loved the texture and taste. I made it exactly as posted. Great potato salad Linda. My granddaughter licked the bowl clean!
