Potato Salad

What a classic.  Nothing goes better with a cook out, pot luck, BBQ, or picnic than potato salad.  I love the basic recipes - mayonnaise, potatoes, eggs, celery, and some seasoning.  They are fast, easy and delicious.

Today, I made a recipe I got from Hellman's.  Simply boil some potatoes - I boiled mine in a little salted water, tossed in some celery, hard boiled eggs, and coated them with a dressing made of mayonnaise, some vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.  I put my salad in the fridge until I was ready to serve it but you can serve at room temperature if you wish.  For a little color, I sprinkled some paprika on top.
