Description

A timeless and creamy potato salad perfect for picnics and gatherings, combining fresh ingredients for a flavorful experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 medium white potatoes (can also use Yukon Gold)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 stalks celery (sliced lengthwise, then chopped)
  • 1/4 cup white onion (diced)
  • 7 radishes (grated)
  • 1 & 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 & 1/3 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 & 1/3 tablespoons dried dill weed (more or less to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (more or less to taste)

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with water. Fill a smaller pot with water. Turn both on high heat.
  2. Scrub the potatoes well and add them to the large pot. Bring to a boil.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs into the smaller pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Slowly lower the eggs into the water and cook for 15 minutes. Drain water and run cold water over the eggs. Place eggs in the refrigerator to cool.
  4. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until they are crisp tender.
  5. When the potatoes are done, drain the water and add cold water to cool them down. The skins should easily peel off; remove as much as you can without fuss.
  6. Place the cooled potatoes in the refrigerator along with the eggs.
  7. While the eggs and potatoes are cooling, chop the celery, dice the onion, and grate the radish. Place everything in a large bowl.
  8. After the eggs have cooled, peel and chop them before adding to the bowl.
  9. Once the potatoes are cool, chop them and add to the bowl as well.
  10. Add mayonnaise, mustard, dill weed, salt, and pepper, stirring well to mix all the ingredients.
  11. Let the salad chill for at least one hour before serving (preferably 3+ hours).

Notes

Chill the salad for longer to enhance the flavors. Customize it with herbs or spices as preferred.
