Salty Southern Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 lbs. Red or yellow potatoes, cut into wedges. (I like to use any potato that has a soft skin. Russet potatoes have a tough skin that tastes like dirt. Ew!)
• 2 Green bell peppers, diced
• 2- 3 tbsp Mayo
• 2-3 tsp Mustard
• 2-3 tbsp Dill relish
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes until soft (about 20 minutes.)
2. Drain the potatoes, and allow to cool.
3. While waiting for the potatoes to cool, mix all of the other ingredients together in a small bowl.
4. Once the potatoes are cooled, add in the mayo mixture and stir it well. If it is too dry add more mayo! Nobody like dry potato salad. Make sure it is nice and creamy.
5. Eat immediately, or refrigerate. Make sure to refrigerate the leftovers too!

Sometimes if I have celery and not bell pepper I will use that instead. You can experiment with different kinds of crunchy veggies if you want to.

This potato salad makes a statement at all the dinner parties I go to. It is a staple at family functions. This is a true traditional salty southern potato salad recipe. I hope you try it and love it. Let me know what you think about it. What do you put in your potato salad?
