Our grandson is graduating and I have been asked to bring the potato salad.
This is enough to fill a large punch bowl and the biggest Tupperware bowl.

15 pounds of potatoes. (a bag and a half) boiled and cut up
As many boiled eggs as potatoes. ..about three dozen, chopped
One large and two largish Vidalia onions, chopped.
Almost two large, but not huge, jars of Hellmanns. salt and pepper.

Mix together. Chill overnight. This is so much that you need to mix it in your biggest pot or a roasting pan and it will tire you out just to mix it. It is about 20 pounds of salad!

This is simple and I have not added pickle or celery and I am always shocked at the way it disappears.

Now I encourage you to give us all your favorite recipe for potato salad. In regular amounts. This was on my mind and I thought I would share these ingredients for a big group.

Gracie, I have this exact same recipe......but it calls for no onions.
