Description
A comforting and creamy potato salad perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, and potlucks, this dish features tender potatoes mixed with zesty mayonnaise and crunchy vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely before using to maintain texture.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs. Stir gently until all ingredients are well mixed without breaking the eggs apart too much.
- Add cooled potatoes to the dressing and fold gently until evenly coated; this helps preserve the potato’s integrity and provides a creamy texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to preference to enhance the flavor.
- Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with paprika for a dash of color, cover well, and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
- Serve chilled alongside your favorite grilled meats or enjoy as a refreshing meal on its own.
Notes
Allow the potatoes to cool completely before mixing to keep the dressing creamy. Taste before serving and adjust seasoning as necessary.
