Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 medium white potatoes or Yukon golds (about 2.5 to 3 pounds), skin on and quartered
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1.5 cups Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 2 celery stalks (ribs), diced
- 6 green onions, diced
- 1.5 teaspoons celery seed
Seasoning and Finishing:
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.75 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Submerge whole potatoes in a spacious pot filled with cold water. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and cook for 20-25 minutes until potatoes yield effortlessly when pierced with a fork or knife. Drain and allow potatoes to cool until comfortable to handle.
- Carefully peel potato skins and dice into uniform ½-inch to ¾-inch cubes. Transfer warm potato pieces into a generous mixing bowl and drizzle with white vinegar. Gently toss to ensure even coating, then allow potatoes to rest and absorb flavors for 15-20 minutes.
- Finely chop crisp celery and green onions, incorporating them into the potato mixture. Dice 4 hard-boiled eggs and fold gently into the salad.
- Create a creamy dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed, salt, and ground black pepper in a separate bowl. Delicately fold the dressing into the potato mixture, adjusting seasoning to personal preference. Garnish the top with remaining egg slices, optionally dusting with paprika for visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the potato salad for a minimum of one hour, or ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld and intensify. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Notes
- Selecting the right potatoes guarantees a creamy, dreamy potato salad texture that’ll make everyone’s taste buds dance.
- Cooling potatoes completely prevents mayonnaise from separating and ensures a smooth, silky dressing coating.
- Salting boiling water infuses potatoes with flavor from the inside out, creating a more delicious base.
- Hard-boiled eggs contribute rich protein and a velvety depth that transforms an ordinary side dish into something extraordinary.
- Letting the salad rest in the refrigerator overnight allows ingredients to mingle and develop an even more intense, mouthwatering flavor profile.
