Easy Potato Salad
Red potatoes or Yukon golds hold their shape best after boiling and have a creamier consistency.
Storage: Leftover potato salad that is refrigerated shortly after eating it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Potato Salad:
- 8 medium Yukon gold potatoes, about 3.75 lbs. total
- 2 Tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 celery sticks, diced
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, see notes
- Salt/pepper, to taste
Potato Salad Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1.5 Tablespoons sweet relish
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
To garnish:
- ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 3 green onions, diced
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with cool water, enough to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Clean the potatoes, leave the skin on. Add them to the pot, and stir in a teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook until fork tender, 20-25 minutes.
- While the water boils, combine the onions, celery, mayo, mustard, relish, and garlic salt in a small bowl. Set aside in the fridge.
- Drain the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, dice them into cubes. You can leave the skin on if desired, I leave the skin of some and remove it from others.
- Drizzle with white vinegar while they're still warm and gently stir to combine. Let them cool.
- Toss with mayo mixture until combined. Add diced hard boiled eggs and mix gently. Season with salt/pepper if desired.
- Transfer to a clean serving bowl. Garnish with dill weed, paprika, and green onions.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, covered.
Notes
Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs:
- Submerge the eggs in 2 inches of cool water in a pot on the stove-top.
- Gradually bring them to a boil.
- Once the boil is reached, cover the pot and remove them from the heat.
- Let them sit for 12 minutes.
