Southern Potato Salad

A rich, creamy potato salad featuring hard-boiled eggs, mustard, and sweet pickle relish — a staple of American cookouts.

Cuisine: United States

Ingredients

• 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup diced red onion

Instructions

1. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, mix mayo, mustard, relish, celery, and onion.
3. Fold in the potatoes and chopped eggs while the potatoes are still slightly warm (they absorb the flavor better).
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
