Depending on how much you’re making, the ratio is one potato to one egg; if the potato is very large then 2 eggs.
All the amounts are depending on how much you’re making! Most of this is eyeballing, it’s how she makes it that makes it so good!
Boil the potatoes and eggs the night before; if you’d like you can also dice up the onion so it’s quicker to put together.
Boil potatoes with skins on and then peel.
Cut potato into medium sized cubes; cut up eggs in to smaller pieces too.
Add onion and eye ball for equal ratios.
Next add the mayo!
Use a rubber spatula to get the mayo out of the jar and into the bowl.
Most times I’ll use the whole jar; if it’s a batch that I make for the family it’s more like 1 and a half.
Here’s the kicker - you must mix the ingredients with YOUR HANDS!
Don’t use a spoon.
Fold the mixture with your hands so that the potatoes don’t become mushy.
Put in that love!
Next you add the salt, pepper, and celery SEED.
Again it’s all about taste and eye balling it.
I usually sprinkle the salt and pepper, then mix it up with my hands, then add the celery seed and mix/add more until most of it is covered.
Sorry the instructions are vague but this is how Grandma taught it to me! No measurements; just specific ingredients and the big part being to mix/fold with your hands and not a spoon.
