Classic Potato Salad

Print Recipe

A creamy and easy-to-make potato salad that’s perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, or as a midnight snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium potatoes (around 3 pounds)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickle relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes under cold water, then chop them into evenly-sized chunks. Boil in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  2. Prep the other ingredients: While the potatoes are boiling, chop your onion, celery, and spring onions, and hard boil your eggs (if needed).
  3. Mixing time!: Once the potatoes are boiled and cooled, drain them and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped onions, celery, and vinegar, then toss gently.
  4. Bring on the creaminess: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, and paprika. Mix until creamy and then add into the potato bowl.
  5. Egg-cellent addition: Chop up your hard-boiled eggs and gently fold them into the potato mixture.
  6. Season to perfection: Season the potato salad with salt and pepper, then mix well. Adjust if necessary!
  7. Chill out: Cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

This potato salad is perfect for making ahead of time as the flavors develop beautifully when chilled.
