Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium sized potatoes peeled and cubed into 1/2 pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 4 stalks of celery finely diced
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed*

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt
  2. Once boiling, add the diced potatoes and boil until cooked through but still firm (about 10 minutes)
  3. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool until ready to mix with the other ingredients & dressing
  4. While the potatoes are cooking prep the other ingredients and make the dressing
  5. To make the dressing, whisk together the mayo, white vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, sugar and celery seed until the sugar is dissolved, then set aside
  6. In a large bowl, combine the diced celery, onions, and cooled potatoes
  7. Pour the dressing over the potatoes then gently fold in the diced egg, parsley, and chives
  8. Season with additional salt as needed
  9. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving*

Notes

*Add additional mayo in 1 tablespoon increments as needed should the salad look a bit dry. The potatoes tend to soak up the dressing at times.
