Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Mix other ingredients, and add to chilled potatoes. Let set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving for flavors to meld.
  • Serve chilled.
