Does anyone out there have a great mayo based potato salad recipe?

I have been searching for just the right taste and consistency.Does anyone out there have a great mayo based potato salad recipe?
Ingredients:





4 large baking potatoes.


1/4 white or yellow onion (optional)


2 large eggs


1/2 tsp salt


1/3 cup mayonaise


4 oz sweet relish


paprika








Boil the potatoes until they are done but not overcooked


I use the test here where I stick the fork in and it


meets a little resistance but not too much. How long


you boil them depends upon how big they are. You do want


the potatoes done though since no further cooking is


involve. If you overcook them, they don't really hurt


the recipe since the extra potatoe just mixes in with


the creamy portion of the mixture.





Boil the eggs over medium high heat until hard boiled.





Allow the potatoes and eggs to cool. You can run cold water


over them in a strainer to speed up the process.





Peel the potatoes and then slice into chunks. If you aim


for 1 inch by 1 inch chunck you will do well.





Peel and slice the egg into 1/2 inch pieces.





Chop the onion into very small pieces. I made this optional


because you WILL be able to smell the onion on your breath.


Therefore, if a little close contact is planned anytime soon


you probable want to leave the onion out.





Stir all ingredients gently except for the paprika.





After all ingredients are well mixed, pour into a bowl.


Add the parika across the top. Store in the refrigerator


until ready to serve.

The secret to a great potato salad is the sauce of course! My personal favorite potato salad is: for a medium size bowl of salad: combine in bowl: chunked, cooked potatoes, diced onion to preference (optional), a couple of chopped crunchy dill pickles (optional), and a few chopped black olives (optional), a couple of stalks of chopped celery (optional), and a couple of mashed hardcooked eggs (optional). Sauce: about a cup and a half of mayo, at least half a cup of mustard, a couple of tablespoons sugar, two or three capfulls of cider vinegar, two or three capfulls of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and enough milk or half and half to make a nice creamy sauce - kind of like a crepe batter. It should be thin enough to pour smoothly and you want it liquidy enough that it will soak into the potatoes. If it's too thick, add a bit more liquid - preferably dairy, but it doesn't matter which one you use. If it's too thin, add a bit more mayo. Pour sauce over ingredients in bowl and gently fold to coat all ingredients and have a little puddle in the bottom of the bowl. Then if you want to fancy it up, arrange hardcooked egg slices on the top and sprinkle with your favorite paprika. Viola! The best tasting potato salad you'll ever eat!!
