Potato salad

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes
  • 2½ tsp salt
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • ¼ cup pickle relish (we prefer dill)
  • ½ red onion (looking for about ½ cup)
  • 3 medium stalks celery
  • ¼ cup pimento stuffed green olives (about 4) chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (try replacing this with lemon juice or brine from the olives)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or dill as a garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Cut potatoes into ⅔-¾ inch chunks and place with salt into cold water (enough to cover the potatoes with an extra inch). Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are fork tender (about 8-10 minutes)
  2. While potatoes are simmering, peel hard-boiled eggs and chop onion, olives, and celery.
  3. Drain potatoes and spread them out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with the vinegar. Let them cool for 15 minutes .
  4. Combine mayonnaise, mustard and pepper, and the yolks of the eggs and stir together.
  5. Stir in celery, olives, and onion then dice the egg whites and relish into the dressing and stir to combine.
  6. Mix potatoes with dressing and add any garnish (dill and/or parsley)
  7. Potato salad gets better after it has been sitting in the refrigerator for anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 days.
