Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds small yellow potatoes, skin on, scrubbed
- 1–2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 – 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped, about 1/3 cup
- 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon mustard of choice
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup mayo, or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25-30 minutes, depending on their size.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin away from the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Notes
For added flavor, try using flavored mustard in the salad.
Adjust the amount of mayo to your liking; some may prefer a creamier dish.
Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
