This is from Susan Branch's summer cookbook. I think I changed the directions when I copied it into my recipe app. I always take out words and shorten the directions when I can. Also, the russet potatoes were a surprise. You just have to watch to make sure they don't get mushy.

Yield: 10 servings
Source: Susan Branch's summer cookbook

7 large russet potatoes
7 eggs
2 cups mayonnaise
1 ¾ cups minced red onion, (1 large)
¾ cup sweet pickle relish
3 - 4 stalks celery, diced
1 teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste - more
lots freshly ground pepper

Peel potatoes, cut in half and drop into a big pot of boiling water. Cook until fork tender.

Hard boil eggs at the same time. Peel the eggs, put in a large bowl and mash with potato masher. Drain potatoes, cut in to bite size pieces, and add to bowl with rest of ingredients. Mix gently. Check for seasoning. Chill
