Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (preferably whole) Use low-fat or vegan mayonnaise for alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • 1 cup celery (diced)
  • ½ cup onion (finely chopped, red or green)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes.
  • Place the diced potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the potatoes are cooled, gently fold them into the mayonnaise mixture.
  • Add the diced celery, finely chopped onions, and hard-boiled eggs if using. Fold gently to maintain potato texture.
  • Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Stir gently before serving. Adjust seasoning again if necessary.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For variations, incorporate fresh herbs or spices as desired.
