My xMIL's potato salad was always soooooo good. I finally watched her make it one day. The secret was that she boiled the whole potaotes in their skins. I found that was why the 'potato' taste was so good. (When potatoes are peeled and cut up into cubes - the way I had always done them - it's logical that the water takes away the potato taste!) So I began to cook my potatoes whole, and my own mother thinks I make the best potato salad ever! Both my sisters, too. I'm giving estimates on amounts here, no real recipe.

• 5-6 whole red potatoes, boiled, cooled, peeled, and cut into cubes
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
• salt, pepper, cayenne to taste
• 1 tsp parsley flakes (optional)
• 6 green onions, snipped
• 1 tsp celery seeds

1. Mix all ingredients except potatoes.
2. Add potatoes last.
