Classic Potato Salad Ingredients: 5 pounds of yellow or Yukon Gold potatoes

1 teaspoon sugar

1+ cup zesty Italian salad dressing (you can use regular, light, or fat free)

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup real mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)

2 – 3 celery ribs, chopped

1/3 cup pickle relish – either sweet or dill, depending on your taste

1/3 cup diced sweet onion

3 Tablespoons yellow mustard

8 eggs, hard boiled and coarsely chopped

½ teaspoon salt Instructions:

1. Boil potatoes whole, with skins on. Drain water and let cool. When cool enough to handle, scrape peelings off potato with the blade of a paring knife. Peels should slide off easily without needing to cut into potato.

2. Dice potatoes and place in large bowl. Pour Italian dressing over potatoes and stir. Cover bowl with a lid and refrigerate overnight.

Next day:

3. Make dressing: Mix mayo, relish, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper all together in a small bowl

4. Add chopped celery, diced onion, and chopped eggs to the diced potatoes in the bowl and lightly stir 5. Add dressing and stir again until combined. 6. Note: Dressing can be made the day before. Celery, onion, and eggs can also be prepped the day before so all you need to do is mix everything together on day two.
