Description

A delightful mix of boiled potatoes, fresh veggies, and creamy dressing, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

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


Instructions

  1. Scrub, peel, and cut the potatoes into one-inch cubes.
  2. Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water.
  3. Boil the potatoes over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are firm-tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool completely.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potato cubes along with chopped onions and celery.
  6. Hard-boil the eggs, cool, and peel them. Either chop them and add to the bowl or push them through a cooling rack over the potato mixture.
  7. For the dressing, combine the vinegar, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Gently fold the dressing into the potato mixture until well combined.
  9. Garnish with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of paprika.
