This was my mum's recipe:

5-6 large (washed) baking potatoes
4-5 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 medium yellow onions, finely diced
4-5 kosher dill pickles (Mrs Elswood Haimisha pickled cucumbers, in UK)
1 tbls celery seeds
2-3 heaping tbls Hellmann's/Best Foods mayonnaise
2-3 tbls American mustard (as opposed to English or Dijon)

Boil the potatoes with their skins on until just tender. Drain and
spread out to cool while chopping the onions. Cut the warm potatoes
into roughly 1/2" - 3/4" pieces (you can peel them or not. I don't, but
mum did), chuck them into a large bowl, top with celery seeds, then
onions (the heat makes these two ingredients soften a bit while you're
cutting up other stuff). Then add the eggs, pickles, mayo and mustard
and mix well. Leave, covered, in the fridge to go cold.

Always a hit wherever I take it.
