Ingredients

  • Potato Salad Ingredients
  • 5 medium potatoes

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp prepared mustard

  • Seasonings
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt

  • 1/4 tsp celery salt

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • Alternative Ingredients
  • Himalayan salt can replace garlic and celery salt

Directions

  • Start by boiling potatoes in salted water until they are tender yet firm, about 15 minutes, then drain and let them cool.
  • Concurrently, boil eggs by placing them in cold water, bring to boil, then let them sit in the hot water with the heat off for 10-12 minutes; peel after cooling.
  • Chop the cooled potatoes and eggs, then in a large bowl, mix them with celery, onion, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, and salts. Add black pepper, mix well and chill in the fridge. This chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
