Answers:
You must be from the south!
When I met my my boyfriend's family they prepared the yellow mustard potato salad and it was my first time to eat it!. My mother always made the white!.!.!.I love both! Here is how I prepare the mustard potato salad recipe!.

Boil russet potatoes or the Yukon gold potatoes in their cleaned skins in salted water until they are fork tender!. Remove and let cool!. Probably 5 potatoes would do if they are large!.
Remove the skin and cut into desired cubes!.
Set aside!.
In medium bowl mix:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup yellow mustard to start then add more if it's not sharp enough for your tastes (1/8 is one half of 1/4 cup)
it can be the french type or the hot dog mustard the bright yellow one
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
3/4 cup of sliced celery and some of the leaves
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
combine very well these ingredients and mixed with cubed potatoes!. Now taste to see if you need to add anymore of the mustard or other items!.
some people add hard boiled eggs to this salad and others don't so it's up to you!. I like the chopped eggs so about 2 would be enough for this recipe!. Remember to not let this sit out on the table very long it should be kept as cold as possible!. Best of luck now I want some!

You've basically got it!. The rest comes down to personal preference, but I'll give you what my mother guessed hers to be about 30 years ago!. I follow it slightly when I make it but then add my own extras!

6 cups cooked potatoes - skinned, chilled and cubed
3-4 hard boiled eggs - quartered lengthwise and sliced
3 stalks celery - sliced
3 green onions - sliced
1 T!. lemon juice
4-6 radishes - sliced
1 T!. sugar
1 green pepper - diced
2 - 3 tsp!. mustard
about 1 cup Miracle Whip
1 tsp!. salt
3 T!. pickle relish
1/2 tsp!. black pepper
1 tsp!. celery seed

Combine all except add eggs last!. Chill well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What you said sounds about right!. About twice as much mayo as yellow mustard!. Maybe add some dill or sweet pickles, chopped up (or relish), and of course, S&P!. I prefer green onions to spanish onions in potato salad for a milder flavor!. And the trick my GM taught me was to mix the dressing and pickles and stuff separately, then pour over the potatoes and boiled eggs, then combine!. Keeps the potatoes from getting all mushed up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is the recipe, alright!. You can also add sweet pickles, olives!. The proportions don't matter!. Just make enough boiled potatoes to feed the crowd, add some of each of the rest!. Add enough mayo to coat and enough mustard to flavor the whole thing!.
