Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes cut into bite-size chunks (2 pounds)
  • 1.5 cups mayo
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 stalks celery chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs (chopped)

Method
 

  1. Place potatoes in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, mix mayo, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes, celery, and onion; toss gently. Stir in eggs. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours for best flavor.

Notes

For the best flavor, make sure to chill the potato salad for at least 4 hours, or even overnight, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
