How To Make mama's potato salad

Step 1

Place potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and boil until potatoes and just done. (about 10 minutes) DO NOT OVERCOOK. You don't want them to turn to mush.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together gently. Be sure not to break up the potatoes.
Step 3

This can be eaten right away but is much better if chilled at least an hour. Refrigerate overnight for best results as the flavors will blend more.
