- Potatoes can be refrigerated overnight before peeling.
- Peel and dice potatoes and mix with celery, onions, relish, celery salt, salt, pepper, and mayo.

Notes
different varieties of potatoes will result in different texture potato salad. Red and Gold potatoes are waxier and create a smooth potato for potato salad. Baking potatoes have a starchier grainy texture and fall apart a bit more, they will also absorb more mayo, if you use baking potatoes be sure you have enough mayo to coat the potatoes well they will absorb more than the other varieties I mentioned.
I prefer to make the mayo, it's easy and so delicious. If you want to use purchased mayo my recommended brand is Hellman's/Best Foods.
