Does anybody have any good potato salad recipes ?

I decided to ask a fun question, and I'm interested in trying out a new potato salad . Does anybody have any ideas ?Does anybody have any good potato salad recipes ?
Potato Salad Recipe





Ingredients:


4 large baking potatoes.


1/4 white or yellow onion (optional)


2 large eggs


1/2 tsp salt


1/3 cup mayonaise


4 oz sweet relish


paprika





Directions:


Boil the potatoes until they are done but not overcooked


How long you boil them depends upon how big they are. You do want the potatoes done though since no further cooking is


involve. If you overcook them, they don't really hurt


the recipe since the extra potatoe just mixes in with


the creamy portion of the mixture.





Boil the eggs over medium high heat until hard boiled.





Allow the potatoes and eggs to cool. You can run cold water


over them in a strainer to speed up the process.





Peel the potatoes and then slice into chunks. If you aim


for 1 inch by 1 inch chunck you will do well.





Peel and slice the egg into 1/2 inch pieces.





Chop the onion into very small pieces.


Stir all ingredients gently except for the paprika.





After all ingredients are well mixed, pour into a bowl.


Add the parika across the top. Store in the refrigerator


until ready to serve.
