I'm with you, Wayne -- I took potato salad to Sibling's house
yesterday, and I garnished with sliced hard-cooked eggs (thanks
again, Nancy!) and paprika:

Potato Salad

6 medium potatos, boiled then cut into small cubes
1/2 small onion, chopped fine
6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Sweet pickle, chopped
Salt & Pepper
Worcestershire Sauce
Yellow Mustard
Mayonnaise

Combine first three ingredients, mixing gently but
well with large spoon. Add sweet pickle to taste,
again stirring well. Dribble Worcestershire and
mustard once or twice around top of salad, sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Mix again, add mayonnaise by
large spoonfulls, mixing well to taste. Chill at
least 2 hours before serving, overnight is better.

I always put paprika on my devilled eggs too...
