6 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped

Instructions
In a large saucepan combine potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes or just until tender. Drain; cool slightly. If desired, peel potatoes. Cube potatoes. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine mayonnaise, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Stir celery, pickles, and onion into dressing. Add potatoes and eggs; stir gently to coat. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours. If desired, garnish with celery leaves. 2/3 cup serving
Herb-Roasted Garlic Potato Salad- Prepare as directed, except use coarse ground mustard in place of the yellow mustard and omit pickles. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the top 1/2 inch of a garlic bulb to expose ends of individual cloves. Leaving garlic bulb whole, remove any loose, papery outer layers. Place in a custard cup. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Roast, covered, about 25 minutes or until garlic feels soft when squeezed; cool. Squeeze cloves from bulb into a small bowl, mash with a fork, and stir into dressing. Stir 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives, parsley, or tarragon into dressing.
