Grandpa Sellers' Classic Potato Salad

Now here's a family classic for spring and summer -- who can resist Grandpa Sellers' potato salad?

Looking at what I have written down I realize I never did get Grandpa to give me any exact measurements -- because he never measures! But I have made the salad successfully (the man himself can verify this) so I'm sure you can piece it together as well. The big hint: go easy on the mayo/mustard/salt at first, adding more as you find you need it And don't add it in till you get near the end (pretty much follow the order below when adding ingredients).
  • potatoes, diced (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • dill pickles, chopped
  • celery, chopped
  • pimientos
  • green onions, chopped
  • mayonnaise, mustard and salt to taste
  • boiled eggs, diced and sliced
  • olives (optional -- your call, green or black)
Boil potatoes till soft (peel before or after boiling) and slice. Add the rest of the ingredients. Chill. Enjoy.
