Mom's Potato Salad circa 1980

Mix together

Boiled Potatoes (mashed a bit)
Hard boiled eggs, chopped
Sweet pickle relish (or chopped pickles and juice)
salt and pepper
dash of garlic powder
onion powder or finely minced onion
finely minced celeary (or celery salt)
enough Miracle Whip (ick -- but it's mom's recipe) to make smooth

Optional:

pimentos
mustard
dill pickles chopped instead of sweet
fried chopped bacon
good seasons salad dressing (prepared -- cut back on mayo)

Her recipe changed over the years -- it always includes mustard and salad dressing now -- and I think the miracle whip is required -- even though it grosses me out.
