Grandma Mottishaw's Potato Salad- Christa



Grandma Mottishaw's Potato Salad (serves 2)

My cute grandma gave me this recipe when I got married (hence the "serves 2" part- that's so adorable that she would size it down for me)... it's the salad she made for every family gathering. It's absolutely the ONLY potato salad recipe I like. I usually double or triple this recipe now for my huge family of 8.

2 lg potatoes
1 can sliced olives
1 celery stick- chopped
3 hard boiled eggs
2 chopped dill pickles
green onions or onion flakes
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 c. mayonaise (miracle whip works too)
1/4 c. pickle juice

Boil potatoes until tender (not mushy) Let stand until cool- then peel. Slice potatoes into 1/2" cubes. Place in bowl. Add olives, pickles and celery Chop 2 eggs and add to mixture. Add onions salt and pepper to taste. Mix mayonaise and pickle juice, add to mixture. Mix well and allow to stand. Slice remaining egg and add as garnish to top of mixture (sprinkle with tiny amount of paprika if desired). Place in refrigerator until cold.
