Classic Potato Salad

This is my favorite potato salad.  Serves 12

6 medium waxy potatoes
1 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup celery, thinly sliced.
1/3 cup onion, diced small
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
6 large eggs - hard cooked - chopped

1. In a medium saucepan place potatoes, cover with water, add 1/4t salt.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until just tender. Drain well. Cool slightly. Peel and cube the potatoes.
2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, celery, onion and pickles. Stir.  Add the potatoes and eggs. Toss lightly to coat. Cover and chill for 6 hours or over night.
