Description

This classic potato salad recipe brings back nostalgic flavors. It features tender potatoes, creamy mayonnaise, sharp mustard, and hard-boiled eggs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Place potato cubes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, celery, red onion, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and parsley.
  5. Add cooled potatoes to the mayonnaise mixture. Gently fold to combine.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but not mushy.
  • Adjust mustard amount to your preference.
  • Potato salad tastes even better the next day.
