Potato Salad

It's an insanely hot day here so I wanted to get the cooking out of the way early & use the grill for dinner for everything else.  I love potato salad and thought it'd go nicely with the dinner I'm preparing.  I found the recipe here but made a couple of changes.  The recipe as noted below includes my updates.  I just had a quick taste and I think it's pretty tasty.  I'm sure it'll be great after it's chilled for a little bit!

Here are some of the ingredients all chopped and ready to be mixed in:

Here's the final product:

Ingredients:
4-5 medium golden potatoes, washed and chopped
3-4 slices of bacon, cooked & chopped
2 eggs
2 stalks of celery
Onion Powder (I used a few shakes of the powder)
Mayo - I used about 2-3 heaping tbsp (but added a little at a time to ensure it wasn't too much)
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions
Place potatoes in pot of cold water and boil for about 12-15 minutes
While the potatoes cook, place 2 eggs in a pot of cold water.  Bring to a boil and let boil for 1 minute.  Turn off the stove, cover the pot and let stand for 12 minutes
Chop celery and set aside
When potatoes are done, drain and put in refrigerator to cool a bit
When eggs are done cooking, place gently in a pot of cold water.  Let them stand for about 5-10 minutes (making sure the water is cold and replace if needed).  Peel the eggs and chop.  
Pull potatoes out and combine all the ingredients.  Place in bowl and refrigerate.
