This was my grandfather's potato salad recipe.

Grandpa's Potato Salad.

8 medium sized boiled potatoes, cubed
1 medium sweet onion, chopped coarsely
4 cold hard boiled eggs, chopped coarsely
4 stalks celery, sliced thin (about a cup's worth)
1/4 - 1/3 cup good quality mayonnaise
1/4 - 3/4 teaspoons dry mustard (to taste)
Salad oil (I use canola)
2 teaspoons capers

Combine dry mustard with mayonnaise and the mashed yolk of one of the hard
boiled eggs, and add salad oil. Mix enough in, usually a tablespoon or
two, to make it the texture that you can mix with the potatoes. Add capers
to this and mix them in. Mix the potato, chopped eggs, celery and onion,
and add mayonnaise mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly, and chill for an
hour or so before serving. Optional seasonings (omit capers) may include
basil, dill or rosemary. You can use radishes or dill pickles for garnish,
but it is best the way it is.
