Ingredients
dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 Tbsp relish, either sweet or dill relish
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp celery seed
- 1/2 tsp each, salt and fresh cracked black pepper, or to taste
salad
- 3 lbs russet potatoes, about 4 good sized potatoes.
- 1 cup thinly sliced celery heart (I use the leaves, too.)
- 1 bunch spring onions, about 6, trimmed and thinly sliced, white and green parts.
- 4 hard cooked eggs, rough chopped
- paprika
Instructions
make the dressing
- Whisk or stir the ingredients together, making sure to get them completely combined. Taste and adjust as you like.
make the salad
- Peel the potatoes and slice in half lengthwise. Place in a bowl of cold water while you work. Drain the potatoes and place in a large pot. Cover with water, add a tablespoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil gently until the potatoes can be easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Note: once the water comes to a boil, this might take 20-25 minutes. But all potatoes are different, so be sure to check with a knife first.
- Drain and cut the potatoes in chunks. Use a bench scraper to transfer them to a large bowl. Some of the potatoes will be quite soft, that's ok.
- As you add potatoes to your bowl, toss each batch with a little bit of the dressing. The hot potatoes will drink in the flavors.
- Add the celery, onions, and eggs to the bowl and toss with more of the dressing. Note: depending on the size of your potatoes you may not need all the dressing, but be generous.
- Chill the salad before serving. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.
Notes
- This potato salad keeps well for up to a week, just keep tightly covered with plastic wrap.
