My Perfect Potato (And Egg!) Salad
- 4 lbs red potatoes, mostly unpeeled (8-10)
- 2 cups Hellmanns Mayonnaise (I use just under)
- 4 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 12 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 celery heart (2 cups)
- 1 large onion (1 cup)
- 4 -6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped (optional)
- dill, garnish (optional)
- Wash and chop onion and celery heart.
- Wash and eye the potatoes.
- Leave most of the skin for vitamins.
- Cut into bite size cubes and place in a large cooking pot.
- Cover with cold water, enough so the potatoes have about one inch under the water.
- Salt generously and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and boil for 8-10 minutes until tender.
- A little under cooked is Ok because they will continue cooking.
- Rinse with cool water.
- I usually dump out all the hot water and fill with cold replacing it a few times until potatoes are cool to the touch.
- Drain and pat dry.
- Mix mayo, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in large bowl.
- Add potatoes, celery, onion and eggs and toss gently.
- Chill overnight.
- Mix & serve.
- Top with dill for a fancy presentation.
