Creamy Potato Salad

6 medium round red or white potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Paprika, if desired

1. Place potatoes in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water just to cover potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook covered 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into cubes.
2. In large bowl, mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add potatoes, celery and onion; toss. Stir in eggs. Sprinkle with paprika.
3. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors and chill. Store covered in refrigerator.

This was a great potato salad! It may need a little more vinegar, but still so good! Sydney forgot to put the onion in, so it probably tastes even more delicious.



I accomplished something while making this salad that I am proud of. I know this might sound silly, but I hard boiled an egg perfectly! On other occasions when I hard boiled eggs the outside of the yolk was grey, which for the longest time I thought was normal until I read one of my cookbooks and it said that the outside should be yellow. I was so happy when I cut open this egg to find that it was yellow! Go me!! ~Sydney
