CHRISTINE J. BEEKER’S POTATO SALAD

Step 1

Take 6 to 8 russet or thin skinned potatoes - boil until fork goes in easily - drain and refrigerate over night - hard boil 2 to 3 eggs - refrigerate over night.

Step 2

Use 3 to 4 large Tablespoons of mayonnaise - put in medium bowl – add a little milk – 1 teaspoon of dry mustard – salt and pepper – stir/mix/whisk together until a little frothy – some what thick - not too thin.

Step 3

Peel and cut up potatoes – shell and chop up egg – place in large bowl – add mayonnaise mixture – stir together to fully covered – if desired, use more mayonnaise or milk –potatoes will absorb – if desired you can blend some chopped onion (approximately a Tablespoon amount of onion) and add a little water, place in blender and puree, then add to potato salad and mix together.

Step 4

Refrigerate minimally for 4 hours- If possible, let stand in refrigerator over night before serving.

 
There's that milk or water addition I was mentioning above--it does work! An Idaho potato

is a Russet Burbank.
