This is a recipe my boyfriend's mother always made for him growing up. I made it, at his request, for his birthday, and it was a huge hit at the party!

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• sea salt to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
• ½ cup yellow mustard
• 8 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 3 dill pickles, chopped (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and place in a serving bowl.

Step 2

Stir the onion, salt and pepper into the potatoes while they are still hot. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavor. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Add the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish to the salad, and mix well. Gently stir in the eggs and dill pickles. Finish off with a generous grinding of black pepper on top. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving.
