Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, washed and cut in 1/2 to 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, optional
  • Dressing:

Put cubed potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and continue boiling for about 12 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and cool completely.

Gently stir the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture. Add remaining mayonnaise and mustard, to taste.
