My mom's side of the family would admit they eat to live, not live to eat. Every once in a while, however, they came up with a really good meal and this potato salad is an example. It's just simple and it works.
Recipe:
4 lbs. of potatoes, peeled
1 cup chopped red or yellow onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped hard boiled eggs
1 cup chopped sweet pickles
Sweet pickle juice to taste
Mayonnaise to taste
Quarter the potatoes and boil until you can poke a form part way through but not all the way. Too soft and the salad will have a mushy texture. Drain and cube cooked potatoes then place into a bowl with other ingredients and mix until well coated. The pickle juice and mayo amounts are to your own preference though the salad is supposed to be slightly sweet. I sprinkle a little paprika on top for color and add some chopped green onion.
You can turn this into a pasta salad easily by swapping the potatoes out for macaroni, rotini, or tiny shells.
