Sorry I can't give exact measurements, but here is how 3 generations of women in my family make potato salad.

(Either small potatoes, or larger ones, cut up.)





Boil, cool %26amp; peel some eggs.





Add to the pototes: diced sweet pickles, diced celery, diced onion, and some of the eggs chopped up.





Blend all together w/a mixture of mayo %26amp; mustard, more salt if needed, and pepper.





Put the rest of the egg in a decorative pattern on the top.





Dust w/paprika.





Chill.





Enjoy!
I made a really awesome pasta salad last night and everybody raved over it. All I did was boil up 16 ounces of elbow macaroni and then cooled it down by running cold water over it and draining the water.





I mixed up mayonnaise, salt, pepper, part of a fresh red pepper (a little more than half of a large one - diced, of course), two stalks of celery (diced), one small onion (diced) and a 12 ounce can of tuna fish (drained). Once I had all those ingredients combined well, I added in the cooked macaroni and chilled the whole mess for a couple of hours. Everybody loved it!





Oh yeah, it's just as good (if not better) if you throw in a small bag of frozen peas, or even a can of peas (drained).
