To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have mama's southern potato salad using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
  1. Make ready Med to Large Russet potatoes or 8-10 Red potatoes (Using russets in the pictures)
  2. Make ready Large Eggs (or more if you like, my family does, so I use 6, at least)
  3. Prepare Med Sweet onion or 1 Bundle Green Onions (Optional) Using sweet onion for these pics
  4. Prepare Mayonnaise (Maybe a little more or less to taste)
  5. Prepare Sweet Relish
  6. Prepare (of each) Spicy, Honey Dijon, and Reg. Mustard
  7. Take Creole Seasoning (More or Less depending on how you like your spice level!! You can buy at the grocery store but I also have a homemade recipe for it as well, on my page)
  8. Prepare Bacon Bits or 2-3 slices of bacon, fried and broken up
  9. Get Roasted Garlic Cloves minced and chopped up (Easy, EASY recipe also available for Roasted Garlic on my page) or Couple tbsp Minced garlic, Garlic Salt or Powder will work too
  10. Make ready Salt and Pepper
Steps to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
  1. Get the potatoes in heavily salted water, begin to slowly boil, to be able to add eggs. Add eggs when boiling starts. Cover and let boil for another 10 - 15 min.
  2. While the boiling is going on, prepare the onions and precooked garlic (if that's what your using, this is the garlic in the pic) Chop or dice both very finely.
  3. This is the chopped onion.
  4. Once the boiling is finished. Drain the water off of the potatoes and eggs. Cool down easiest way possible…. for me I drain the hot water off and add cold water, then refrigerate while getting other ingredients together. If I'm in a hurry I do an ice bath, pull off the heat, drain, then add ice and cold, COLD water to it. Let it sit for a few min then begin the peeling process. This way the skins of the potatoes will peel straight off with your fingers, nothing else needed.
  5. Once potatoes are peeled, dice LARGELY!! Peel eggs and dice LARGELY, as well. When you mix everything it will come together great, so go BIGGER on cutting up the POTATOES N EGGS!! That's kinda the great thing about this recipe your cuts don't have to be perfect!! Go ahead and add garlic and seasoning (salt, pepper, creole, ect.) and stir it up!!
  6. Last step!! Mix it all together!!! Add the mustard, mayo, relish!! The longer you can let it sit, and marinate, it makes it better. I usually make mine the night before and that's the way my family likes it!!
