Mama's Egg Salad

This isn't a true recipes...more of a list of ingredients used to make Egg Salad in our house. Quantities all depend on the number of eggs used, goal is to keep it from being runny so add slowly!

Two Eggs usually makes 3 sandwiches:

2 hardboiled eggs

1 large kitchen spoonful (1/4 cup?) Mayonaise

Dash of seasoned salt

Sprinkle of dry mustard (or 1 tsp regular mustard)

few shakes of Onion flakes or dried minced onion or onion powder (maybe just one little shake of powder)

Sprinkle of garlic powder

Optional - Accent (msg) use to use this in the old days...

Mix it all up, adjust seasonings to taste and refrigerate at least 1 hour for flavors to blend.

You can use the same "formula" for potato salad - just add red potatoes and real onion.
