4 to 5 medium potatoes, cook in jackets, peeled, and cubed (4 cups)

1 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped onion

4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced

Pour French dressing over warm potatoes; chill 2 hours. Add celery, onion, eggs, and salt. Add mayonnaise and mix carefully. Add 1 teaspoon celery seed, if desired. Chill 4 hours. Makes 8 servings.

1/2 cup salad oil

2 tablespoons vinegar

2 tablespoons lemon juice
