Once you do this, it's hard to go back to store-bought.

I like to start my seed potatoes in the mid to late fall and let the plants overwinter in a semi protected loosely mulched place beside the shed. The partial protection from the cold allows me to harvest them early enough to have potato salad in late winter to early spring. Only home pickled pickles and onions and celery not removed from the garden more than six to eight hours. I keep a mustard plant going virtually year round so that fresh mustard seeds are always at hand. Ground in the mortar and pestle just before use adds a genuinely sublime mustard for the salad.

I run the eggs from the hens straight to room temperature freshly run filtered spring water then carry it to a low boil as quickly as possible, adding a little salt from the mine I dug into the dome under the lower 40 field a year or so back.

You are correct, freshly squeezed olive or soy oil and eggs laid no later than this morning make the best Mayo.

I prefer a little age on my bowl I use to mix everything together.

Must have some sweet pickles in it.

Hellmans has a good recipe...potato said is best if you make it a day in advance and let it chill in the fridge

I envy you. Can't wait to be in a stable household long enough to start doing this.

Haha! That wasn't it at all. I just thought you were pulling our legs about your home grown potato salad.

I use baked potatoes. Cool over night, peel and dice.

Make sure it has eggs, potatoes, mayo, mustard, Sweet and dill relish, green onions, sour cream, salt and pepper
