Ingredients

  • 907.2 g potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, and hard-boiled eggs (if using) to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are well coated with the dressing.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or pepper according to your preference.

  6. 6

    Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

    Serve chilled as a side dish at your next gathering or picnic.
