Classic Creamy Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Extra sliced boiled eggs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 10–15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, boil the eggs for about 10–12 minutes. Cool them in ice water, peel, and chop 4 eggs. Slice the remaining eggs for topping.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, onion, celery, relish, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the warm potatoes and chopped eggs to the bowl. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle paprika and extra black pepper on top. Decorate with sliced eggs.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving for the best flavor.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, add crispy bacon bits or chopped pickles.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes make the salad extra creamy.
  • Serve cold as a side dish or enjoy it as a full supper meal.
