4. 1 1/2 c. Mayonnaise (Maybe a little more or less to taste)
5. 1/3 c. Sweet Relish
6. 2 tbsp. (of each) Spicy, Honey Dijon, and Reg. Mustard
7. 2 tbsp. 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. 1/4 c. Bacon Bits or 2-3 slices of bacon, fried and broken up

Steps to make 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!!

You will also find as your own experience and confidence develops that you will find your self increasingly more often improvising while you proceed and adjusting meals to fulfill your own personal preferences. If you prefer less or more of ingredients or would like to make a recipe somewhat more or less hot in flavor that can be made simple adjustments on the way so as to achieve this goal. Put simply you will start in time to create snacks of one's very own. And that's something which you will not of necessity learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills for novices but you'd never know if you didn't master those simple cooking abilities.
