My mother's potato salad — chunky and flavorful — is a favorite at our family gatherings. Best if made the day before. Season with salt carefully because the olives will be salty.

Ingredients

  • whole russet potatoes: 5 pound
  • eggs: 5 piece
  • ½ cups mayonnaise (such as Hellman's®): 1 piece
  • prepared yellow mustard (such as French's®): 2 Tbsp
  • onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • stalks celery: 3 piece (chopped)
  • sweet gherkins: 7 piece (chopped)
  • pimento-stuffed green olives: 25 piece (sliced)
  • pinch salt: 1 piece (to taste)
  • green bell pepper: 1 piece (sliced, optional)
