Step 3: Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, pickles, hard-cooked eggs, red onion, celery, mustard, cider vinegar, a teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well, then, fold in the potatoes.

Notes:
1. You can add four strips of sliced and cooked bacon or a cup of diced ham for variety.
2. When in the fridge, potato salad can stays for about a week. Just make sure to put the salad in a sealed container and it stays cold.
3. This old-fashioned Potato Salad can be made ahead as long as you keep it covered and it stays cool. It will taste better the longer the ingredients blend.
