Nannan's Potato Salad

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 5 lbs potatoes
• 1 (10 ounce) jar pimento-stuffed green olives
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 30 ounces hellmann's mayonnaise
• 3 -4 hard-boiled eggs, totally (optional)

Recipe

• 1 to hasten cooking time in a busy holiday kitchen i boil the potatoes in their skin in a pressure cooker. you can boil them in a large pot with a lid if you don't have one.
• 2 chill potatoes in the refrigerator, skin, and cube into large bowl.
• 3 pour entire contents of the jar of olives, chopped onions and mayonnaise in with the potatoes.
• 4 stir until the olive juice and mayo are well blended and the olives have begun breaking apart. cover and chill for 1 hour.
• 5 *as nannan was orating this recipe to me i was shocked at how much mayonnaise she used -- but here in texas i should have known that most of the old timers seldom consider cholesterol. unfortunately they usually make the best food so i'll keep using a "tub" of mayo when i make this, and you can feel free to use less if you like.
• 6 she does swear the secret is hellman's brand mayonnaise or a cheap brand which lends more creaminess to the recipe then flavor.
