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 them with water. Season with salt and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and can be pierced easily with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, placing them in a large bowl.
Notes
For added flavor, include some chopped herbs like parsley or dill.
Adjust the amount of mayo based on your texture preference—add more for a creamier salad.
This salad can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge for best flavors.
