This is not the hardest thing to make, in fact it is one of the easiest, so here it is.
Boil potatoes and cut into slices
add finely chopped onion
add finely sliced large pickled cucumber
add small amount of cummin and mustard seed
add liquid to give you the consistency you want of two parts mayonnaise to one part plain yoghurt.
Add a couple of tablespoons of the vinegar from the cucumbers.
That's it. Tastes good.
There are many ways to make potato salad.. I have been making this for a long time so I don't measure so use your judgement - add little then add - easier to add than take away.
Also the type of potatoes used varies and if you like the skin or not. If you use russet potatoes - besure to peel them, small red or gold potatoes just wash good.
Takes about 3 lbs of potatoes for about 4 people.
Cube your potatoes. Put in a large enough pot to hold them and enough water to cover them. (Use cold water). Bring to a boil then add salt. You can add about 4 eggs with the potatoes to get them boiled as well.
Let cook about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.
Pull the eggs out to cool, and drain the potatoes very well. You don't want extra water in your salad.
Put the drain potatoes in a large bowl - set to the side. Peel and chop the eggs and add to the potatoes. Add in 3 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish (can use dill if you like). Add in Mayo and Mustard to liking. (I like more mustard than mayo in mine). Mix well.
You can add a small chopped onion and some chopped celery to it as well. Some people like it, others do not.
Good Luck!
