Grandma Sophie's Smashed Potato Salad recipe

8 servings

5 pounds potatoes, peeled, cut into 2 inch chunks

3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and finely diced

1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickle

2 cups mayonnaise

salt to taste

Boil potatoes until soft, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove potatoes to a large bowl.

While the potatoes are still warm but not steaming, stir in the hard-cooked eggs with a fork.

Mix in the dill pickle, then stir in the mayonnaise.

Season to taste with salt.

Continue to stir until potatoes are smashed and not many big chunks remain.
