Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds potatoes (yellow or red)
4 large hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup relish or chopped pickles
2 stalks celery
1 small onion (finely diced)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Boil and peel potatoes: Place peeled potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook 15-18 minutes until firm.
Prepare eggs and veggies: Boil eggs, cool, and slice. Chop celery, onion, and pickles.
Make dressing: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, relish, celery, onion, salt, and pepper.
Combine: Add cooled potatoes and chopped eggs to the dressing. Gently mix until coated.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use sweet potatoes for a richer flavor. Substitute chickpeas for eggs in a vegan version. Greek yogurt can replace mayonnaise for a lighter option. Avoid vinegars with added alcohol in pickles.
