Ingredients
- 3 pounds red-skinned potatoes (20 potatoes), well scrubbed
- 6 large eggs, hard-cooked
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Paprika
Directions
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough salted water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Pour out most of the water and place the pot in the sink. Run cold water over the potatoes for about 2 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Drain well.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl. Chop 4 hard-cooked eggs and add to the potatoes, along with the red onion, green pepper, and celery. Sprinkle with the celery seed. Gradually stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, and relish (wear rubber or plastic gloves and use your hands, if you wish), being careful not to smash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Slice the 2 remaining hard-cooked eggs. Arrange the slices on top of the salad and sprinkle with paprika. Serve immediately, or cool, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
(Note: For a potato salad with a kick, add 2 seeded and minced jalapeno peppers.)

my sister made this, a while back and so i thought i would give it a try cause it was so good!!!!!!! I did a couple of things different, i peeled and cut my potatoes before i boiled them and i mixed the wet ingredients together, before i mixed them in the potatoes. I only used half of celery, half of the onion and half of the bell pepper, and because i don't like mushy potato salad, i washed my hands very good and mixed it with my hands or you can use plastic gloves!!!!!!! This is a great tasting potato salad!!!!!
