Description
A creamy blend of tender potatoes and hard-boiled eggs, enhanced with mustard and onions, perfect for picnics and barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 cup finely diced onions
- 1/4 cup celery, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. If you don’t have pre-cooked eggs, place eggs in a small pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–12 minutes. Cool eggs in an ice bath and peel.
- Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water. Cook until a fork slides in easily but the pieces still hold shape, about 12–15 minutes. Drain well and let the potatoes cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and mustard until smooth. Add the cooled potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced onions, and celery. Gently fold everything together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Before serving, gently stir and sprinkle paprika on top.
Notes
Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture. This salad can be made a day in advance and tastes better as it sits.
