- 6 medium potatoes Around 3 pounds, choose waxy potatoes for best texture.
- 1 none onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 4 none eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar

Instructions
Preparation
- Scrub, peel, and cut the potatoes into one-inch cubes.
- Place the potato cubes into a large pot and cover with water.
- Boil the potatoes over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes or until they are firm but tender. You can test doneness by inserting a fork into a potato cube.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and set them aside to cool.
- Once cooled, place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Chop the onions and celery and add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Hard-boil the eggs, then cool and peel them. You can either push the eggs through a cooling rack over the potato mixture or chop them and add them directly to the bowl.
Mixing
- For the dressing, mix the vinegar, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Stir until well blended.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently mix until everything is coated.
Serving
- Garnish with sliced spring onions and sprinkle paprika on top.
- Serve your potato salad chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Allow the potatoes to cool before mixing them with the other ingredients to prevent a mushy texture. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, adding more salt, pepper, or even some hot sauce for a kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days.
