Not fond of the stuff, especially with pickles or anything else with texture. I am in need some help. I have to prepare enough potato salad for 150 or so people. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ya, lots of variations depending on taste

some put onions, some dont

some put pickles, some dont

some even put garlic in it and some dont

you should be able to find a basic "plain jane" version to make. its just boiled potatoes mixed with mayo and mustard as the core ingredients

I'll give you what I do for a 10lb bag of potatos which make enough for about 30-40 people to eat with gumbo.

10-lbs Red Potatoes
1 dozen eggs
3 cups Hellmans Mayo
1/4 cup Mustard
Salt & Pepper

Peel and dice your potatoes about 1/2 - 3/4" then boil till fork tender in salted water, should take about 18-20 minutes.

In the mean time hard boil your eggs and peel them.

In a bowl add your mayo and beat till the lumps are out, then add the mustard, yolks and salt and pepper. Mix that till smooth.

Dice your egg whites and add it to the mayo/mix, then mix that with the potatoes.

Thats about as basic as you can make it and thats how my grandparents made it and how I make it to this today.... sometimes I add Dill Relish, if I was making it for a plate lunch or a big group I would not add relish.

Cant help with volume. When cooking enough potato salad for 4 people it always ends up making enough for 150. I can't figure it out.

Potato Salad:
Eggs
Potatoes
Mustard
Mayo
Salt
Pepper
