Cheri's Potato Salad

Note from Cheri: When I was growing up, my dad would potato salad like this for all of our outdoor picnics and barbecues. It's still my favorite kind, although the addition of cilantro is mine (if you don't like cilantro, leave it out). Serve in a big, wide bowl and use the tomatoes, cucumber slices to decorate the top, these ingredients will get mixed in as people serve the salad.

5 pounds potatoes peeled 2-3 stalks celery, finely chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1/4 C cider vinegar 1/4 C cilantro, stemmed and chopped 1 T Dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste 1 cup mayonnaise 6-8 hard boiled eggs 3-4 ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges 1-2 cucumbers, cut in slices

Serves 12-14 Cut peeled potatoes into cubes and cook in boiling water until tender -- do not overcook. Drain and cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except tomatoes, and cumcumbers. Mix well to combine flavors. Arrange tomatoes and cucumbers on top. Cover and chill thoroughly before serving.
