This is a family recipe. It is the best potato salad in the world in my opinon. I have tried many different types and none compare. My mom and all her sisters make this. It is present at every picnic and everyone is glad for that.
Dressing:
Beat 2 eggs
2 Tbs. flour
2 Tbs. sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. prepared mustard (yellow)
Blend, add 2 c. water
Boil until thick
Add 1 c. mayonaise (I like Hellmans)
5 lbs potatoes, boiled and cut in squares
3 stalks celery (or more--I like lots)
1 sm onion finely chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Updated to answer questions in comments:
My mother used all purpose white potatoes but waxy potatoes like red skinned potatoes or Yellow Finn potatoes work really well. Boil 5 lbs of potates with their skins on until tender but not over cooked. Pour off water immediately and allow them to cool. Peel and cut into cubes (~1 cm or 1/2 inch square). Add dressing and stir gently to coat.

How many potatoes do you recommend for this recipe and what type (yellow, red, white)? Do you recommend boiling them with skins on and de-skinning once cooled?
Good questions! I updated the recipe to include the answers.
