Ingredients

• 4 lbs. red or yellow potatoes (cut into wedges)
• 2 green bell peppers (diced)
• 2- 3 tbsp mayo
• 2-3 tsp mustard
• 2-3 tbsp dill relish
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Boil potatoes until soft (about 20 minutes.)
• Drain the potatoes, and allow to cool.
• While waiting for the potatoes to cool, mix all of the other ingredients together in a small bowl.
• 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.
• Serve and enjoy!

Notes

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.
