Abi's Potato Salad

Potatoes, 5 lbs, peeled and cubed
5 boiled eggs, peeled, cooled & chopped
Dill pickles, 1 cup finely chopped
Green olives, 3/4 cups, finely chopped
Red Onions, 1-2 large, finely chopped
Mayo...probably about 3/4 - 1 c. (Real mayo, please--no Miracle Whip--HATE that stuff)
Mustard (Maybe 3 Tbs or so?) I just do it till it looks right....
Kosher salt
Coarsely ground pepper
1/2 lb. bacon, fried crisp, crumbled.

Boil potatoes until just tender, but not mushy. Drain & cool. Fold in eggs, pickles, olives and red onion; add all other ingredients to taste. Add bacon just before serving to preserve crispness.

I've also been known to toss in a handful of toasted, slivered almonds. (But not for a gumbo batch.)


My sister makes gumbo from one of those mixes (is it Zatarain's?)...anyway, my husband likes it. LOL!!! I recently made a pot of Shrimp/andouille gumbo, and when we sat down to eat, my husband said, "I hope this is as good as _________'s." Then an ornery grin when I shot him a look. He about had the whole pot on his head.

That sounds great, and y'all are making me HUNGRY.
