Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 lb Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs chilled
- ¾ c mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 Tbsp sweet relish
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp Tony Chachere’s seasoning or seasoning salt
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 ribs celery finely chopped (approximately 1 c)
Instructions
Cook the Potatoes
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process. Allow to cool completely.
Prepare the Eggs
- While the potatoes cook, place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Drain the hot water and rinse the eggs under cool water. Peel and dice the eggs once cooled.
Prepare the Dressing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet relish, red wine vinegar, Tony Chachere’s seasoning, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Potato Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, diced eggs, chopped celery, and sliced green onions. Add the prepared dressing and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated. For a creamier texture, lightly mash some of the potatoes while mixing.
Adjust and Serve
- Taste the potato salad and adjust seasoning or mustard as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
