Sue's Famous Potato Salad

(or for dinner with porkchops)

In my opinion, the secret to a great potato salad is great mayonnaise. I've said it before, but get yourself some Duke's. I'll ship some to you. I mean, if your'e going to be eating potato salad you might as well go big or go home. I could also eat hard-boiled eggs for days, I love them so...and this recipe calls for plenty of 'em.

Potato salads are so easy. Add enough water to a large pot to cover the potatoes, keeping them whole. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to boiling over high heat for about 20-25 minutes. I always scoop one up and poke it with a fork - if it goes through easily, they're done. If you encounter resistance, let them boil for a few more minutes.

Meanwhile, chop 6 hard-boiled eggs and 1 bunch of scallions. The scallions add nice color and crunch to the salad. Mix together 1 cup mayo and ½ cup Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard until it turns light yellow. If you're making a smaller batch, you definitely won't need all that dressing, so you will want the amount you plan to make to be 1 part mayo, ½ part mustard.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and cool them laid on the counter. Make sure they are very cool before handling; there's going to be a lot to slice! Cut them into quarters and add them to a large bowl. Slowly stir the mayo/mustard mixture in with potatoes, eggs, and scallions until well coated. Salt and pepper to taste.

I think it's best after being chilled for an hour or so. Happy Memorial Day!
