Potatoes, cubed and cooked
Diced onion and celery

Mayonnaise
A little vinegar to thin
A squirt of yellow mustard. Not too much.
A little sugar to correct the tartness. Definitely not too much.
Salt and pepper to taste

My grandmother used Miracle Whip. She's why I don't have an actual
recipe with quantities. I watched her make it so many times it's
just instinct.

Lately I've been mixing the dressing with the onion and celery before
adding to the potatoes.

My family always added sliced green olives, but I find nobody likes
that but me so I don't add them anymore.
