Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes washed and unpeeled
- 4 hard-boiled eggs save 1 for garnish
- ½ white onion diced
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard Dijon or your favorite
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar apple cider or red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
To garnish:
- Chopped dill - you can also use parsley or cilantro
- paprika powder
- lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Place the whole unpeeled potatoes in a pot with plenty of water and a little salt. Cook until soft, about 30-40 minutes depending on size. I usually try to poke a knife through the middle to check for doneness.
- Put the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool them and then proceed to peel them and cut them into small or medium chunks.
- To cook prepare the hard-boiled eggs, bring water to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Then gently add the eggs - one by one using a spoon so they don't break. You can add a teaspoon of baking soda - this helps make it easier to peel them. Let the eggs cook in the boiling water for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl with cold water until you are ready to peel them.
- I recommend saving one of the eggs to use as a garnish for the salad. Peel and then dice the rest of the hard-boiled eggs.
- In a medium bowl or platter, add the chopped potatoes, the chopped hard-boiled eggs, the diced white onion, and the chopped celery.
- To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise (or yogurt) with the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour this dressing on top of the chopped potatoes/eggs and mix well.
- Taste the salad and adjust the amount of salt/pepper to taste. Add the chopped dill and paprika. If you saved one of the hard-boiled eggs, cut it into quarters or slices and use them to decorate the salad. The salad can be served on top of lettuce leaves.
- The salad can be served immediately, or it can be kept in the refrigerator until serving time. Personally, I find that the flavor improves if it is left to rest for a few hours before serving.
