hong's potato salad

A favorite amongst my family and friends. This recipe is super simple and great for any barbeque.

INGREDIENTS:

• 5 lbs potatoes 
• 12 eggs
• mayonnaise
• 1/4 onion, very finely minced
• salt
• granulated sugar 
• ground black pepper 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Wash potatoes thoroughly. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half to speed up the cooking time. Boil the potatoes with the skin on. In a separate pot, boil the eggs.
2. Once cooked, peel the eggs and potatoes. Cut the potatoes and eggs into approximately 1 inch size pieces.
3. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs and minced onions. Sprinkle in salt, pepper and sugar. I find it easier to mix these ingredients together before adding the mayonnaise.  This ensures everything gets incorporated evenly.  
4. Add mayonnaise to achieve the desired consistency. Add additional salt, sugar, pepper to taste.

Note: I like to mix everything when the potatoes are still hot, so I don't wait for the potatoes to cool before peeling and cutting them. Be forewarned, this is not easy on the fingers.
