Original Recipe Yield 20 servings

Ingredients

5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
sea salt to taste
8 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
3 dill pickles, chopped (optional)
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and place in a serving bowl.
Stir the onion, salt and pepper into the potatoes while they are still hot. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavor. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish to the salad, and mix well. Gently stir in the eggs and dill pickles. Finish off with a generous grinding of black pepper on top. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving.

Hard-Cooking Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat immediately, and let stand covered in the hot water for 10 minutes. Cool, peel and use as desired.
