Ingredients

  • 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • sea salt to taste
  • 8 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 3 dill pickles, chopped (optional)
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
 Directions
  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and place in a serving bowl.
  2. Stir the onion, salt and pepper into the potatoes while they are still hot. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavor. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
