A classic creamy potato salad with hard-boiled eggs, onions, celery, and a tangy dressing.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium potatoes (around 3 pounds)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 4 eggs, hard-boiled and 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 (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Scrub, peel, and cut potatoes into one-inch cubes.
  2. Place potato cubes into a large pot and cover with water.
  3. Boil potatoes over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes (until firm-tender). Insert a fork in a potato cube to test doneness.
  4. Drain cooked potatoes and set aside to cool.
  5. Place the cooled potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Chop the onions and celery and add to potatoes.
  6. Hard-boil eggs. Cool and peel eggs.
  7. Place a cooling rack over the potato mixture bowl, push the eggs through the wire opening, or chop them and add them to the mixture.
  8. Pour vinegar over the egg mixture.
  9. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  10. Fold the dressing into the potato mixture.
  11. Garnish with paprika and sliced spring onions.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture.
  • Do not overcook potatoes to prevent mushiness.
  • For extra creaminess, add a bit more mayonnaise or a splash of milk.
  • If the salad is dry, mix in additional dressing before serving.
