Old-Fashioned Potato Salad recipe

INGREDENT

  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion (or regular onion)
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes:
    Place diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. Cook the Eggs:
    Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then transfer eggs to ice water. Peel and chop once cool.
  3. Mix the Dressing:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Salad:
    Add cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, and onions into the bowl with the dressing. Gently mix until well combined and coated.
  5. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with paprika and parsley if desired. Serve chilled.

Let me know if you want a version with a twist—like adding bacon or using Greek yogurt instead of mayo!
