This recipe is alot like my mother-in-laws recipe which I learned many, many years ago. She taught me a great potato salad has as many eggs in it as potatoes. If you're making 6 potatoes put 7 eggs. It makes it really creamy and a fuller flavor. I also always use onion. I also put a little sweet pickle juice in it along with the mustard and mayo. Great recipe. I always get alot of compliments and there's never any left. Thank you mama!06/14/09
