BEST CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a large pot and add water to cover by 2 inches. Add 3 teaspoons salt and eggs; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer 9 minutes. Remove eggs to an ice bath. Drain potatoes when fork-tender; they may need another minute or so.
• Peel and chop eggs and set aside.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, onions, celery, dill, pickles, juice and pepper in a large bowl; stir to combine. Stir in potatoes and eggs until well blended, mashing potatoes very slightly. Check for seasoning and add up to 1 teaspoon salt if desired.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with olives. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

PHYLL'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes (all equal size) in a large pot. Add cold water to cover. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked (but NOT soft!) depending on size of potatoes. Drain and cool until easy to handle.
• Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, combine the chopped onion, lemon juice, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Set aside.
• If desired, peel potatoes while still hot. Cut into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour lemon juice mixture over potatoes while still hot. Gently toss to coat all pieces. Cool for one (1) hour.
• Add the chopped celery and hard cooked eggs to the potatoes. Add the mayonnaise and toss gently to coat all pieces. Garnish with a dusting of smoked paprika, if desired.
