Marion's Potato Salad

Marion is my husband's grandmother on his Dad's side. She was short and spunky, played a wicked game of Uno, and was the genius being a handful of my recipes on this site, including this family favorite potato salad. It's simple and creamy with just the right amount of seasoning. If your family doesn't love eggs, feel free to leave them out. We miss you, Grandma Porter!

Tips

1. *This Is a celery salt-based seasoning from Spice Island.

2. **Instant pot the potatoes: 10 min high, natural release. 2 C water.

3. You can add mustard and relish if you like that in your potato salad.

4. Also - the original recipe called for Bon Appetite - a McCormick spice - but it has been discontinued. It had MSG and so Jean did Lawry so feel free to add it if you so desire.
