Notes

If you don't have fresh celery or onion on hand, feel free to use a substitute like onion powder and celery seed like I showed in tutorial. As a Crazy Busy Mama, I am always looking to use what I have on hand instead of going to the store to buy more. There is typically always a substitute for a missed ingredient. 
 
Ideally you will want to make this potato salad a day ahead so you can store in refrigerator overnight. If you didn't make ahead of time you need at least 4-6 hours in refrigerator prior to serving.
