I don't have a recipe either, I just know how it looks as I add stuff. And the way I make it, this recipe is too late, but here goes.
I cook the potatoes and peel and cut them up. While they're still warm I marinate them in a little french dressing and put them in the refrigerator. After a bit when they're cool I add chopped celery, some bacon pieces, pimento, olives chopped up and the hard boiled eggs chopped up. I use whatever mayo I have on hand but I put some olive oil and some apple vinegar salt and pepper and mix it up into a dressing...if it's a bit sour a pinch or 2 of sugar fixes that. Mix it all up and chill overnight or at least a few hours. It's the way my DMom made it except for the olive oil and vinegar. I read that in a cookbook once. People always ask me what the orange-y color is (from the french dressing) because it's unusual. It keeps the potatoes from getting that "cold potato" taste.
