Similar to my mother's, but no onion, and the celery was very finely
minced. Half mayo, half sour cream, with a pinch of dry mustard mixed
in. Salt and pepper, of course (always white pepper). Sometimes fresh
(never dried) parsley.
Everything but the potatoes is mixed up before peeling and dicing the
potatoes, so they are still as hot as possible before adding the dressing.
