There are tons of great recipes - usually deli potato salad is tasteless. My mother's was the best - of course, no recipe , so I had to beg her to tell me what to do. And she always decorated the top in the bowl with slices of whole green pepper, sliced eggs, an olive with red pimiento sliced crossways.

Red potatoes, boiled with the jackets - when they're done, peal them as soon as they're cool enough to handle. While still warm, you need to slice or cube and sprinkle with vinegar or French dressing - for a little zing. Stir in chopped eggs, green pepper, onions, salt, pepper, celery seeds, Miracle Whip (it's called salad dressing for a reason), pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles, a couple of green olives (I don't like olives, but in this potato salad the subtle barely noticeable flavor is great) and maybe a red radish, chopped very fine - adds some nice color. The amount of all these ingredients is up to you - a little more or less, depending on what you like. NO MUSTARD!
