Super Simple Potato Salad

"This is a recipe I learned from my mother. It is tasty and simple with a real down home feel. There are few ingredients, but the flavors mesh perfectly without tasting too "busy". I hope you enjoy. Quick tip: Peel and quarter potatoes before boiling if you are in a hurry. It takes a little bit of the flavor away from the spuds, but saves tons of time in cooling and prep! You could also boil spuds the night before and leave them in the fridge overnight--that's what I do!"
