Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 3 hrs Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 8 small potatoes, peeled and cut into fourths, boiled and still warm (recipe calls for red but i like yukon gold)
• 6 large hard-boiled eggs, still warm
• 3 large dill pickles, chopped
• 3 tablespoons yellow mustard (or more)
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise (or more)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 (if you have not already done so, boil your potatoes until they are tender and hard cook your eggs and allow to cool until you can handle them but still warm).
• 2 cut potatoes into small cubes and set into a large mixing bowl, mashing some of them a bit while still warm (leave plenty of chunks).
• 3 peel the eggs and take out the yolks; set them aside for now and just chop the parts up, add to the potatoes along with the pickles.
• 4 take your reserved egg yolks and mash them in a small bowl along with oil, mustard, mayo, until smooth; pour over the potato mixture and toss to coat.
• 5 season well with salt and pepper to taste -- sample it and add more mayo if too dry, more seasoning if desired -- don't be afraid to taste it and add more salt, etc -- the amount is bound to be a bit different every time you make this.
• 6 chill well before serving.
