Nanny's Hot Potato Salad (Can be vegan)

This is the traditional side dish (along with green beans, alongside ham, ambrosia), crudités, and rolls) for the Haynie family Christmas dinner.

Potatoes, peeled, diced, and boiled

Sweet/mild onion, finely chopped

Dill pickles, finely diced

3 hard-boiled eggs (omit if vegan)

3 T. mayonnaise (use mango-naise if vegan)

1 stick butter (omit if vegan)

salt & pepper

For Nanny H's version:

Use sweet pickle relish instead or in addition to the dill pickles.

Chop bell pepper in it.

Add a little yellow mustard.

Thin with milk, pickle juice, or potato water.

NOTE: Make this with freshly boiled potatoes while they're still warm or it will mess up. It is essentially like mashed potatoes flavored as potato salad. It's yummy!
