Description

A comforting bowl of classic Southern potato salad with egg, perfect for picnics and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let them cool before peeling.
  2. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs by chopping them into small pieces and setting aside. Once cool, peel and cube the potatoes.
  3. Mix the dressing by combining mayonnaise and mustard in a large bowl. Add chopped onion, chopped celery, salt, and pepper, stirring until blended.
  4. Combine the cubed potatoes and chopped eggs with the dressing mixture, folding gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
  5. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve the salad and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika before enjoying.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Not recommended for freezing due to mayonnaise and eggs.
