Ken's good ole' fashioned creamy potato salad!


This is a great recipe that's been past down from my big cousin Anthony but the family calls him Amp. First you need about 10 to 12 potatoes if your cooking for 5 or more people. If it's just something for one or two people then use about 4 to 5 potatoes only if you're looking to have some left overs for the next day! Pick up a jar of Del Monte or any other sweet relish of your preference, add 8 to 10 eggs, about 1/2 a cup of sugar or more if needed for taste that you like, Lawry's seasoning salt, mustard, Kraft sandwich spread (or whatever type of sandwich spread that you like), Best Foods/Hellman's mayonnaise, a whole onion, two stalks of celery, and black or green olives if you want them, if not exclude them and go on with the recipe. Make sure boil the eggs for about 10 to 12 minutes, which account's for about one minute for each egg, but each egg actually needs 10 to 12 minutes. Boil potatoes on medium to high heat until potatoes start to show a crack in them and then you know they're done. Place eggs in the sink under cold water for about five to seven minutes, this helps to make the egg come out the shell very easily. Place potatoes under cold water for about 5 to 7 minutes as well, make sure you peel potatoes before placing them in a large bowl, and peel the eggs as well, making sure no shell or shell particles is left on the eggs. Now you want to smashed the eggs up with a large fork, a smasher, a food processor or even your hands as long as they are clean you have my permission! Squish the eggs in the potatoes, getting them down to a creamy mashed potato consistency. Add the mayonnaise, the mustard, the sandwich spread, the celery, the relish, sugar, seasoning salt, and olives if you want! A great tasting salad it will be just don't add to much of the seasoning salt. Stir up all ingredients with a big wooden spoon or place ingredients in your food processor and stir until all ingredients come together, after you finish add a few dashes of sweet paprika and watch your potato salad come to life, this is a great side dish for fish and it really complements any fish dish, It is absolutely delicious!
