Dill Weed Potato Salad

My aunt gave me this recipe card. It is a recipe from TGB's mother. Before she gave me the recipe she told me that she got me this wonderful recipe for a Walnut salad from TGB's mom. As you can see the only "W" in the recipe's name is the word "weed" and the recipe has absolutely no walnuts. I have no idea where she comes up with this stuff. Obviously, I did not get my interest in cooking from her.

Here is the cast of characters.

I got the munchkin to scrub about 12 potatoes before I boiled them (with the peels still on).

Dice about 3 stalks of celery. It should be about 3/4 cup.

While the potatoes are boiling, start making the dressing. Mix 1/2 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons of vinegar (I used cider vinegar.).

Add 1 teaspoon salt.

Add 1 teaspoon white pepper.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add 1 teaspoon onion powder.

Peel the potatoes while they are warm and cube them.

Add about 1/3 cup sliced green onion (the white and green tops). Pour about 1/3 of the oil dressing mixture over the potato and onion mixture. Let them stand for about one hour or more.

To the remaining oil mixture add 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 2 teaspoons chopped dill weed. (I use it from the bottle).

Mix it until well combined.

This is what it should look like.

Add the celery to the potato mixture.

Add 4 chopped hard boiled eggs to the potato mixture.

Fold in the dill weed dressing. We had this salad on Easter Sunday along with some ham.
