1 qt. water
8 med. russet potatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. sweet pickle juice
1/8 tsp. pepper

4 hard cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp. minced onion
1 c. finely chopped sweet pickles


 
Directions:

Cook unpeeled potatoes in boiling salted water.  Do not over cook, or they will fall apart in salad.  Peel while still hot and cut into ¾ inch cubes.

In large bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle juice, pepper and dash of salt. Add potatoes, eggs and chopped pickles. Toss lightly to mix. Season to taste. Serve cold.

Garnish: Line bowl with lettuce leaves and top the salad with hard cooked egg slices.

Note:  I don’t have an exact recipe from Mom for potato salad.  This one has the same basic ingredients.  I would go less on the pickle, but just personal preference.  For seasoning, it would be typical of Mom to add fresh chopped chives and parsley from the garden.
