Classic Potato Salad
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red and/or yellow new potatoes (quartered)
- ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 ¼ cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks celery (thinly sliced)
- ⅓ cups sweet onion (chopped)
- ½ cups sweet or dill pickles (chopped)
- 6 hard-cooked eggs (coarsely chopped)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan place potatoes, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain well; cool slightly.
Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine mayonnaise, mustard, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Stir in the celery, onion, and pickles. Add the potatoes and eggs. Toss lightly to coat. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
