Description

A creamy and tangy potato salad loaded with fresh veggies, perfect for picnics and cookouts.


Ingredients

  • 6 medium Potatoes
  • 1 Celery stalk
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Spring onions
  • 4 hard-boiled Eggs
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white Distilled vinegar


Instructions

  1. Start by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they’re fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, drain and let cool completely.
  2. While the potatoes cool, chop your celery, onion, and spring onions finely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooled potatoes, chopped vegetables, and diced hard-boiled eggs.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, paprika, salt, pepper, and vinegar until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
  6. Pop the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

For added texture, mix in diced pickles or a splash of pickle juice. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for 3 to 5 days in an airtight container.
