I make my potato salad very similar to this one. I love the addition of dill pickles rather than the sweet relish that are in so many recipes. I did put the eggs in my salad using 6 altogether. I don't like big chunks in mine, so I mash them with a fork then use my fingers to make sure they are really mashed good. I used 6 lg. potatoes too. I added a little more mayonnaise to suit my taste, as it didn't seem to have quite enough. Good to the last bite!
