Description

A simple, creamy potato salad suitable for picnics and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, and red onion.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish to the dressing mixture.
  • You can substitute sweet onion for red onion if preferred.
