Emily'S Potato Salad
- 5lb. potatoes (old are sweeter!)
- 2 sweet onions (Vidalia or Peruvian)
- 8 boiled eggs
- 1/2 C green olives
- 1/2 C black olives
- 1 packet Good Season's Italian Salad Dressing Mix
- salt (to taste if desired)
- pepper (to taste if desired)
- celery seed (dash/sprinkling)
- mayonnaise (4 or 5 large dollops or to your liking)
- mustard (1 or 2 tbls. or so)
- Peel and chop (not too small) the potatoes. Then boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they're 'fork tender'. Strain in colander and let cool a bit if you want. Add them to a large bowl that you can use for mixing all of the ingredients. Boil the eggs; peel them and chop them (not too small) and add them to the potatoes in the bowl. Chop the onions and add them to the potatoes and eggs. Slice the green and the black olives into the bowl and add the contents of the Italian Dressing packet along with salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of celery seed. Mix all of the ingredients together in the bowl being careful not to mash the potatoes. Add the mayonnaise and a tablespoon sized dollop (or so) of mustard together and stir the mixture into bowl. Eat right away or chill it for a while and let the flavors blend.....Yummy !! Make as much or as little as you want. Enjoy!
