    Mom & Dad's Potato Salad

    Use Idaho roasting potatos, like you'd normally use for baking. Boil them with the skin on, let them cook all the way through. Remove from water, let cool until you can handle them, then peel them. Refrigerate until very cold or overnight. Dice the peeled potatos. Dice celery and green pepper into relish-size bits. Hard boil eggs, cool, slice a few into rounds and dice a few. Mix the potatos, diced eggs, celery and green pepper bits with Hellmann's Sandwich Spread (Hellmeann's mayo with some very good pickle relish added). Coat everything thoroughly, but is should be quite solid, not mushy like store-bought garbage. Black pepper and salt to taste (go easy, not much of either needed). Place into a large bowl, top with hard-boiled egg rounds and sprinkle all over with paprika. Refrigerate and chill thoroughly before serving.

    Perfect with any kind of picnic or barbeque food, great with a sandwich too. Yum!!!!
