MRS. M'S "GOOD EATIN' " POTATO SALAD

MRS. M'S

Yield 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium)
2/3 cup sliced celery
1/8 cup onion, grated or finely chopped
1-1/2 carrots, grated on large holes
1 Tablespoon spicy mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon pepper
¼ cup salad oil
Paprika (garnish)
Parsley (garnish)

Steps:

Boil potatoes with the skins still on until they're cooked but still firm. (For medium potatoes, this will take about 12 minutes from start of boil.) When the potatoes are done, drain them well, and let them sit in the pot for a few minutes until the crackling sound stops. Cool and peel the potatoes. Cut into chunks. While waiting for the potatoes to cool, prepare the remaining ingredients and combine all in a large bowl except the paprika and parsley. Add the potatoes to the large bowl. Mix with remaining ingredients except garnish. Chill the combined potato salad. Add garnish when ready to serve.
