  1. I just finished creating this wonderful recipe. I usually make one that doesn’t call for dry mustard so in all honesty I misread and used yellow and it was still great. However I did adjust to our taste as I’m sure most people do. One not so much salt. Two not as many eggs. Three added some paprika. Four thinking seriously about adding some pickles. It’s just something about the southern way that I can’t get away from. Love them pickles.
     
  2. A delicious potato salad. Just right balance of ingredients and a creamy well seasoned dressing. Perfect for the warmer weather we are having. Very happy.
     
  3. Exceptional! I use 1 Tablespoon prepared brown spicy mustard instead of ground mustard, and added 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
     
  4. This was so delicious! I made it for my family and some guests for a barbeque and half of it was eaten the night before! It was creamy but didn't have too much vinegar that a lot of potato salads have. I am making this potato salad from now on.
     
  5. I made this on 4/18/09 use as a side to go with brats my SO and I were having.Since there was just the two of us,the recipe was cut in half. This is how it was made,4 potatoes,3 eggs, 1/4 cup onion,and left out the celery. ( we don't like it ).For the mayo 3/4 cup was used,1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 Tablespoon sugar.And since SO doesn't do too much vinegar, that was cut down to maybe 1/2 teaspoon.I did make it the day before as suggested,but we thought that it needed a bit more " zip "Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"

I strongly believe in family, when I'm not at work I am with them. I love family movie nights and watching my kids play baseball and video games. I enjoy having dinner with my husband and going for evening walks with him. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
