Instructions
- Wash the potatoes under running water, peel, and cut into bite-size pieces
- Place potatoes in large pot of cold water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp salt to water
- Reduce heat to simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Start testing around 5 minutes so that they don't over cook
- Drain potatoes into a colander in the sink, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, if desired. Potatoes should still be warm
- Add mayonnaise to large mixing bowl, and stir in remaining teaspoon salt and pepper until creamy
- Add remaining ingredients, and stir until well blended

Notes
You can add more or use less mayo depending upon your own tastes. You may want to start with 1 to 1.5 cups and add additional mayonnaise for extra creaminess before serving.
Garnish with sliced hard boiled eggs and a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley, if desired.
Do not leave potato salad out for more than 2 hours for food safety. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
