BERT'S SOUTHERN STYLE POTATO SALAD

BERT'S SOUTHERN STYLE POTATO SALAD.
I know you have all had, at one time or another, really good potato salad.
This is it!

This recipe works best with Idaho potatoes.
Peel and cut 4 or 5 medium sized potatoes into about 8 pieces each.

Boil potatoes until they are fork tender.
Drain and add cold water to stop the cooking process.

Boil three eggs . After cooling, cut into small pieces.
Finely cut or chop: 1/2 medium yellow onion.
Use 3 heaping tablespoons of Hellman's Real Mayonnaise.
Add 1 large tablespoon of French's Yellow Mustard.
1/2 Tsp McCormick Celery seed
Add 1 tablespoon of Mt Olive Sweet Relish.
In a container that can be covered, mix all of your ingredients together.
The more you mix the more like mashed or smashed potato salad it becomes. Try to
avoid over mixing.
A little black pepper sprinkled on top, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

This is an easy recipe with room for personal touches. You can add fresh celery, use spicey mustard or use different potatoes. I suggest making this version, and then adding your own ideas.

ENJOY!
