8 small potatoes, peeled & cut into fourths, boiled & still warm (recipe calls for red but I like Yukon gold) .
3 tbsps yellow mustard (or more) .
1/4 c canola oil .
6 large hard-boiled eggs, still warm .
3 large dill pickles, sliced .
pepper, to taste .
salt, to taste .
1/4-1/2 c mayonnaise (or more)
Directions
Step #1 (If you have not already done so, boil your potatoes until they are tender & hard cook your eggs & allow this to cool until you can handle them but still warm).
Step #2 Cut potatoes into small cubes & set into a large mixing bowl, mashing some of them a bit while still warm (leave plenty of chunks).
Step #3 Peel the eggs & take out the yolks; set them aside for now & just chop the white parts up, add to the potatoes along with the pickles.
Step #4 Take your reserved egg yolks & mash them in a small bowl along with oil, mayo, mustard, until smooth; pour over the potato mixture & toss to coat.
Step #5 Spice up well with salt & pepper to taste -- sample it & add more mayo if too dry, more seasoning if desired -- don't be afraid to taste it & add more salt, etc -- the amount is bound to be a bit different every time you make this.
