Summer's Potatoe/Egg Salad

This is a HIT at BBQ's and such

8 medium potatoes
13 hard boiled eggs (use 3 of them for garnish)
3-4 cups mayo
1/2 tblsp white vinegar
1 tbsp mustard (can add more if prefer)
3 chopped green onions
1 cup chopped celery (optional)-I don't use
3 dill pickles diced thin (optional)
Garlic powder to taste
Paprika for garnish
Salt and Pepper to taste OR
Lemon pepper to taste

Scrub potatoes, place in a large pot and boil for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place in fridge for 30 minutes to cool. Peel and prepare once cool.

I usually make my hard boiled eggs the day before (boil the eggs for 20 minutes and then place them in cold water. Store in fridge). Peel hard boiled eggs while potatoes are boiling and set aside.

Combine mayo, vinegar, mustard, and seasonings in medium bowl.
Dice potatoes, 10 eggs, green onion, pickles, and celery.
Add dressing, toss and coat. Garnish with the reserved sliced eggs and dash with paprika.
Cover and Chill.
