Potato Salad

Yet another way to utilize the Easter eggs that are hunted on Sunday morning. You can fix this dish and have it ready for Easter dinner.

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes (Giant Mart; 2/$5.00 10lb.bag)
Lots of onions (Giant Mart; 2/$3.00 3lb.bag)
Lots of celery
3 hard boiled eggs
Mayonnaise to your liking
Mustard to your liking
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish

Hard boil the eggs in a pan and boil the potatoes in another pan. Once cooked, dice the potatoes to the size you like and add the chopped boiled eggs. Add your celery, onion, mayo, mustard and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with paprika.

Other suggestions to have for Easter dinner can be found at Giant Mart: Spiral ham ($1.49lb.), Collard greens (2/$3.00), Pillsbury Grands biscuits (2/$3.00) and Edward's Lemon Meringue or Pecan Pie ($5.99) for dessert.
