Description

This Perfect Picnic Potato Salad is a delightful blend of small yellow potatoes, hard boiled eggs, and crunchy celery. Its creamy dressing and touch of mustard make it a must-have for picnics and gatherings, providing an easy, homemade taste that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds small yellow potatoes, skin on, scrubbed
  • 12 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/41/2 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
  • 1/23/4 cup mayo, or to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Season with salt and bring to a boil.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
