The bestest potato salad ever

I know posting recipes is not really what I do here, but I have a reason. I went over to my mom's house yesterday, and she gave me some potato salad. She had a neat little tupperware container all stuffed full of potatoey goodness waiting for me to take home. I grabbed a fork to sample it and fell in love. It was so freaking good that I ate half the container before I ever left her house.

I wrote down the recipe, but I have a problem keeping track of things. This is a recipe I must not lose, EVER. I came to the conclusion that blogging it would be the best way to keep it. It's virtually impossible to lose here, because even if I lost the link to my blog, I can google it. Yeah, I have some organizational issues.

Anyway, for myself and you, here is the recipe. It's bacony and mayonnaisey and heart-attack-in-a-bowly. Make it. You'll like it.

2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp celery seed

1/4 tsp pepper
1 C mayo
