Ingredients
2 pounds red potatoes
3 large hard-boiled eggs
4 green onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika, for garnish
Fresh dill, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and chop the red potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
2. Place potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
3. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper.
4. Chop green onions, celery (if using), and boiled eggs. Add to a large bowl with the cooled potatoes.
5. Pour dressing over the mixture and gently fold until everything is coated.
6. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
7. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with dill or more green onions.
Notes
Use red potatoes or Yukon Golds for the best texture.
Let the salad chill for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Be gentle when mixing to keep the potato chunks intact.
