Since I come from a very large family and also married into another very large family I have tried many homemade potato salad recipes over the years but I still can't find one that comes anywhere near the perfectly delicious taste of my mother's potato salad recipe. After many years of having friends and family beg me for my "secret" recipe, I have finally decided that it is no longer fair to keep this wonderful potato salad to myself so I have decided to share it with the rest of you. I know you and your friends and family will enjoy it as much as mine have over the years.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

5 pounds of russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
1 green pepper, chopped
6 eggs, hard boiled
6 large celery stalks, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
10 tablespoons of mayonnaise
10 tablespoons of sour cream
2 tablespoons of mustard
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
paprika for garnish

Step 1

Start by peeling your potatoes and cutting them into medium chunks. Boil them in salted water until fully cooked. While potatoes are boiling, hard boil 6 eggs. Chop green pepper, onion and celery and set aside.
Step 2

In a large serving bowl combine mayo, sour cream, mustard, salt and pepper. Set aside. Once potatoes are done cooking, let cool in a colander. After eggs have cooled, peel them. Chop 5 of the eggs leaving 1 for a garnish.
Step 3

After potatoes have cooled add them to the mayo mixture. Add chopped eggs and mix well. Take remaining egg and cut into slices. Sprinkle top of potato salad with paprika and place egg slices on top for decoration. Enjoy.
