Mom's Potato Salad

Now this is truly a recipe you are going to have to use as a guideline. I never measure any of the ingredients when I make this potato salad, so I am just guessing here on the amount of eveything in this except for the potatoes and eggs...I actually know I used 3 potatoes and 2 eggs. Everything else is a complete guess. Good luck!

YOU WILL NEED:
3 large baking potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1 inch pieces (boil until tender, drain, and cool)
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped (you can boil with the potatoes, just put them on top)
1 cup or so of light mayo
2 tablespoons or so of yellow mustard
½ red onion chopped
¼ to ½ C of Sweet Pickle Relish (if you like sweeter potato salad, add 1 package of Splenda or Equal)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sprinkle Paprika on top for color and presentation

DIRECTIONS:
After potatoes and eggs have been boiled and cooled, mix all ingredients together except for the paprika. Add the mayo and mustard a little at a time until it is just right.
