This is a potato salad I crave. My grandmother Hazel would make this and it is still an all time favorite. Feel free to tweak it to your liking. I may not have it down to a science but I sure think it is close. Enjoy!

ingredients

5 large potatoes, peeled
3 eggs, hard boiled
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 sweet baby gherkins, sliced and save some juice.
1 cup celery, chopped
to taste, salt and pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup mayonnaise

directions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop.
2
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; cook eggs for 10 minutes. Cool, peel and chop.
3
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, celery seed, sweet pickles, salt, pepper, mustard and mayonnaise. Mix together well adding a little of the juice until it reaches the consistency that you like. Creamier the better. Chill for about 2 hours.
