Mrs. Cim's Potato Salad

Kathryn Ciminera makes a great potato salad, and all of her daughter's friends seem to have gotten this wonderful recipe from her. It's quick and easy to whip up and really delicious. I sometimes add a few tablespoons of coarse grain dijon mustard. The celery is optional, I never add it. Using anything but real mayo or adding other ingredients will change the taste of this dish....make it as listed and I think you'll like it as much as I do.
