My wifes potato salad get us invited back over & over,, problem is it' so simple we're embarissed..
Start with small Red's. minimum 5 lbs
Boil till soft,,, but not mashed.
Peal & thinly slice while still warm,,
A little salt & pepper,
A little wesson oil to coat, not much,, maybe 1/8 cup
Celery seed to taste,, maybe 1/2+ tbs,
A medium onion, finely chopped..
Hand mix lightly, you don't want to mash up the tatters
Cover with cloth & let set for a hour on the counter.
Add a good amount of Real Hellman's Mayo, don't make it sloppy,, maybe a cup++ (NO SALAD DRESSING STUFF)
Chill until needed,, over night is better,, let's the onion & celery seed ferment.
We found that serving with a small spoon keeps SOME of the crowd from being piggy,, but only some...
As we stand here and write,, this is one of those family pass down recipes,, The measurements are more by eye than anything,, so you need a little practice. If your having a big crowd or little you adjust as needed. The end result should be firm, thick, and not slosh around in the bowl. A brave man or women could turn the bowl up on it's side and the salad would stay put...

The other thing that gets us invited back,, Jean's Cream Puff's, I'll try and pry out her recipe..
