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 scrubbed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a generous amount of salt and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. After they are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin.
- Cut the cooled potatoes into bite-sized chunks and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Notes
Adjust the amount of mayo and mustard to suit your taste preferences.
Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor.
Add some fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
