re: Simple, good potato salad for chicken and sausage gumbo

I never use a recipe.
Boil 4-6 eggs to hard boil (14-16 minutes at a boil), peel and set aside in cold water to cool them off.

Boil 2 pounds of potatoes. I use red. Cut into the size you like, cover with water and add 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Remove from heat before they get mushy. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

Chop 1/2 to 1 cup celery, 1/2 to 1 cup sweet pickles. Onion is optional, but if using it, add 1/2 cup chopped onion.

Add 1 teaspoon yellow mustard and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of your brand of mayo. Mix and if not yellow enough, add a little more mustard. If you like white potato salad, skip the mustard.

Taste and add salt if wanted and add some sweet pickle juice if not sweet enough to suit your taste.

You can start with less celery, onion and sweet pickles, then add more if wanted. You cannot remove them if you use too many.

When you cut your potatoes before boiling them, use more if it doesn't look like you have enough. Then adjust other ingredients as needed.
