Notes
Ingredients
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
Garnish
2 spring onions, sliced
1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Clean, peel, and cut the potatoes into one-inch cubes.
Transfer the potato cubes to a large pot and cover them with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Check by piercing with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool.
Once cooled, place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the chopped onion and celery.
Prepare the hard-boiled eggs, then cool and peel them.
Either press the eggs through a cooling rack into the bowl or chop them before adding.
Pour the vinegar evenly over the mixture.
Dressing
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper.
Gently fold this dressing into the potato mixture until everything is well coated.
Finishing Touch
Sprinkle paprika over the top and add sliced spring onions.
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Storage Notes
Keep refrigerated and enjoy within up to four days.
Freezing is not recommended, as it affects texture.
