Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (about 6 medium) potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (optional, for added tang)
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar, black pepper, and mustard (if using).
- Add the cooled potatoes, celery, onion, and chopped eggs to the bowl. Toss gently to combine until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled and garnish with fresh parsley or paprika, if desired.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add diced pickles or bell peppers.
- Use red potatoes for a firmer texture, or Yukon Gold for a creamier consistency.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
