Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes by cutting them into bite-size pieces.
  2. Put the cubed potatoes into a steamer basket over boiling water and cook until fork tender. 
  3. While the potatoes cook, chop the celery and onions and add them to a large bowl along with the sweet pickle relish and pimiento. 
  4. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.
  5. Drain the potatoes very well. You can even return them to the hot pan for a few minutes to allow all the water to evaporate. You want them quite dry but still warm.
  6. Combine the drained, cooked potatoes in a large bowl with the celery, scallions, pickle relish, and well-drained pimiento.
  7. Add the mayonnaise mixture and gently toss until well combined.
  8. Spoon into a serving dish and dust with paprika.
  9. Serve warm or chilled. 

Notes

  • Potato salad shouldn’t sit out at room temperature for extended periods of time – two hours is the absolute maximum. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.
  • May be made the day before serving. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator until needed.
