• For the Salad:
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a saute pan and brown sausage. Remove to a cutting board and slice into 1/4-inch pieces, then return to pan and cook over medium heat until cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain.
• Combine sausage, green beans, 2 tablespoons of the chives, and scallions in a large bowl. Add enough dressing to coat. Then gently fold in potatoes, taste and add enough dressing as needed. Do not feel compelled to use all of the dressing. Serve family style, garnished with remaining chives, and with any extra dressing on the side.

Take the potatoes and but in large bowl, add the chopped onion, and relish, and chopped celery, and chopped boiled egg, gently toss it all together. Then sprinkle the celery seeds and paprika on top.
• If you like you can also add crispy bacon (crumbled) on top. I don't put the onion in anymore because my system doesn't like them anymore. Also instead of adding the whites of the boiled eggs I just use the yoke part. You may if you like also add a little mustard to the sauce mixture. If you like mustard in your potato salad you can also add a teaspoon or so to the sauce mixture. This is a very easy recipe, you can mix other ingredience as to your own tastes. I'm one of those old country cooks that doesn't measure things much I just add a little this and that till it suits my taste. I'm always creating something, usually in the dessert catagory.
