Description

Classic potato salad with egg and mustard. From Olivia at Flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds (1.4kg) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chunked
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, for the water
  • 1 cup (225g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickle brine or vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until a knife slides in, about 12 minutes. Drain and cool 15 minutes.
  2. Stir mayonnaise, mustard, brine, sugar, and celery seed.
  3. Fold dressing into potatoes, eggs, celery, and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Chill at least 2 hours. Dust with paprika before serving.

Notes

Dress the potatoes while they are slightly warm so they take up the dressing. Waxy potatoes hold cubes better than russets.
