Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Cook the eggs and potatoes. Steam or boil the potatoes until fork tender but not falling apart. (About 45 minutes of steaming or 20 minutes of boiling.). Remove them to a cutting board until cool enough to handle. Hard boil the eggs and place in a bowl of ice water to cool.
  • Mix. Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place in a large mixing bowl. Peel and dice the eggs and add them along with the remaining ingredients. Gently mix until combined.

Notes

This salad is actually best immediately after it’s made, unlike many recipes that are best made ahead. But you can certainly chill it in the fridge for up to a day before serving. If it seems dry, mix in a little more mayo before serving.
