Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 4 large eggs
• 2 stalks celery
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.25 cup pickle relish
• 0.75 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool completely.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel and chop the eggs once cooled.

Step 4

Dice the celery and finely chop the red onion. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and pickle relish. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, and red onion to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve cold as a side dish and enjoy!
