Description

A creamy and crunchy potato salad perfect for summer picnics and family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes (around 3 pounds)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickle relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika


Instructions

  1. Start by scrubbing, peeling, and cutting the potatoes into one-inch cubes.
  2. Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until firm-tender.
  4. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped onion, and celery.
  6. Hard-boil the eggs, then cool and peel them. You can either chop them or push them through a cooling rack into the potato mixture.
  7. For the dressing, mix together the vinegar, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Fold this dressing into the potato mixture.
  8. Garnish with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of paprika before serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, let the potatoes cool in the dressing before mixing in other ingredients. Adjust vinegar and mustard based on your preference for tanginess.
