{No Longer a Secret Mustard Potato Salad}

Photobucket

16 (fist sized) potatoes, skinned, cut to bite size, boiled so cooked thru but still firm, not mushy
1/2 C. mayo
1/2 C. mustard
1 Tbs. garlic salt
3 tps. onion powder
3/4 C. dill pickle juice
1-1/2 C. diced dill pickles
1 -1/2 C. chopped celery
1/2 C. chopped red onion
Optional: A few hard-boiled eggs
Paprika

Mix mayo, mustard, garlic salt, onion powder, & pickle juice together. Add potatoes, celery, pickles, & onions. Top with sliced hard-boiled eggs & sprinkle with paprika.

(This is not just any ordinary Mustard Potato Salad. This to die for potato salad has been a secret up until about a year ago. It is my absolute FAVE! It is so flavorful. My mom always just made it by taste. "Add a bit of this and a bit of that and taste and ok lets put some more of this in...." This is very frustrating to a culinary failure as myself. I have no skills unless there is a recipe. So I set up my video camera last year and had her make it but using measuring tools, what a concept. We finally had it down so that me and my sibs can make this even after m'mama is long gone. Where this came from... well that is the argument. My dad claims it's his mama's potato salad and my mom claims it's her mama's. All I know is that m'mama can make it without the recipe and that is a pretty cool talent. So this is what I made on Mother's day this year for our bbq.)
