Potato Salad

I love potato salad at my barbeque...I love it at a picnic too for that matter.  I'm kind of picky when it comes to potato salad because I like a little crunch; but not too much.  I like it thick and not runny with a little egg.  I found the best recipe in my Betty Crocker's Cookbook.  It is delicious.

Peel 2 pounds of delicious potatoes.
  
Cube them into bite-sized pieces. 
  
Heat one inch of water to boiling.  Add potatoes.  Cover pan and let boil 20 to 25 minutes until tender.
  
Meanwhile, boil 4 eggs.
  
Mix Mayonnaise with
  
vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
  
Add chopped celery. 
  
And chopped onion.
  
And dice 3 eggs.
  
Combine with tender bite-sized potatoes and mix well.
  
Peel and slice remaining egg and add to top of salad. Hmmm.  Something is missing.
 
I like to dust the top with paprika to give it a little color.  I love this salad.  It is the very best on the day you make it, so don't plan too far ahead with this dish.  Enjoy!
