I love celebrating with my friends with a barbecue, fresh corn, iced tea and a cool potato salad on a hot, summer day.

Ingredients
  • medium baking potatoes, peeled if desired (about 1 pound total)

  • quarts water

  • 3/4  teaspoon salt, divided

  • 3/4  cup light mayonnaise

  • 1 1/2  teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1/8 to 1/4  teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • jalapeno chile-stuffed olives, thinly sliced

  • 1/2  cup finely chopped celery

  • 1/4  cup finely chopped onion

  • hard-cooked eggs, chopped

  • 1/4  teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  1. Combine potatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes.
  2. Drain well, and cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut cooled potatoes into cubes.
  3. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a large bowl; mix well. Stir in olives, celery and onion. Add potatoes and eggs; stir gently to blend. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
