Every year I make the potato salad for many of the summer holidays. We are meeting at my dads house Sunday to grill and celebrate, and honor the memory of those who served and are no longer with us.

I never do store bought potato salad, that stuff has around 40 ingredients in it. Mine has 9 (this year 8 because I forgot to buy extra dill)

Potatos (this year I am using golden. I have used red, russet, and my favorite butter)
Red onion
Celery
Dill Relish
Mayo
Mustard
Salt
Pepper
and extra dill (usually)

5 lbs bag potatos...the first couple years I would do a 10 lbs bag...we had leftovers for what seemed like months.

Now here is the secret to great potato salad:

After you boil and drain the water from the potatos, stick them in the fridge for a couple hours, then mix it all together. It will be creamy and you will use less mayonnaise. If you mix it hot the mayo cooks into the potatos.

Another thing you might want to try is cauliflower. I have never made it with cauliflower before, but my aunt makes it this way, and it is great! The raw cauliflower adds a nice crunch, when mixed into the salad.

I know it is just potato salad, but I'll post a pic of it later.
