Our family loves potato salad. Now. But once upon a time, my youngest son absolutely despised the stuff. We tried so many different combinations and recipes in our attempt to convert him, alas to no avail. Until this recipe. He actually ate a whole bite. Then another and another, pronouncing the stuff "excellent and amazing" while we stared in awe. Persistence. It pays off.
So here are the details. We happen to love olives. And pickles. But mostly olives. If your family does too, give this recipe a try. If you don't leave out what you don't like and throw in what you do. The recipe is very forgiving. Enjoy! 
Excellent & Amazing Potato Salad
3 pounds potatoes
8 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup chopped red onions
3/4 cup diced dill pickles
1/2 cup sliced black olives
8 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup chopped red onions
3/4 cup diced dill pickles
1/2 cup sliced black olives
Dressing:
1/4 cup mustard
2-1/4 cup mayonnaise or miracle whip
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mustard
2-1/4 cup mayonnaise or miracle whip
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Boil potatoes whole and unpeeled. Cool, peel, and cut into chunks. Peel, rinse and cut up the eggs. Toss the potatoes, eggs, onions, pickles and olives gently. In a separate bowl, mix the dressing ingredients. Add to the potato mixture and carefully stir to coat everything evenly. Keep refrigerated. Serves 8-10.

I'm always looking for new salad recipes to try! I could eat olives by the handful, so I can't wait to make this *L*
fun and different with the pickles and olives :)

I like potato salad with green olives in them. I bet I could substitute them.
