This is my mother’s recipe and is a combination of my two grandmothers' potato salad recipes. It leans a little to the Irish side. My mother’s maiden name is McClain and her mother’s maiden name is McBee. I like to make this the night before so the flavors will blend.

Lightly stir celery, red onion, eggs, black olives, green olives, dill pickle relish, sweet pickle relish, and paprika with potatoes until thoroughly combined.

Step: 4

Mix in mustard, vinegar, and mayonnaise; stir lightly until all ingredients are coated and moist. If salad isn’t moist enough, stir up to 1/2 cup more mayonnaise into salad.

Step: 5

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. For best flavor, make the day before and refrigerate overnight.
