Classic Potato Salad

Print Recipe

A creamy and tangy potato salad that brings nostalgia and comfort to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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. Prepare the potatoes: Scrub your potatoes under cold water. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool before peeling.
  2. Cook the eggs: Cover eggs with cold water in a pot, leaving an inch above. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for about 12 minutes. Plunge into ice-water bath, then peel and chop.
  3. Mix the veggies and dressing: Chop onion, celery, and spring onions. In a large bowl, combine with mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Combine it all: Cut cooled potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Add to the bowl and fold everything together without smashing potatoes.
  5. Get creative: Gently fold in chopped hard-boiled eggs. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then sprinkle paprika on top.
  6. Chill thoroughly: Cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour to meld the flavors.

Notes

Serve garnished with additional spring onions and paprika. For different flavors, try adding herbs or bacon.
