Ingredients

  • 5 Russet Potatoes
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Chopped Onion
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Celery Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 2/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel Potatoes and chop into bite-size pieces. It will take less time to cook if they are in bite-size pieces.
  • Boil bite-sizes potatoes in a pot of water and add a pinch of salt. Boil until they tender but still firm.
  • Place 2 large eggs in a pot of water and let boil for about 15 minutes. If you have a steamer you can also steam the eggs in about 10 minutes. Check out my Perfect Steamed Hard Boiled Eggs Recipe.
  • Drain Potatoes and Eggs let cool to room temperature before mixing with other ingredients.
  • While the potatoes are cooling.
  • Chop Onions into small pieces so they don't overpower the Potato Salad but still adds flavor.
  • Mix together chopped onions, garlic powder, celery flakes, ground mustard.
  • Chop eggs into small pieces once cooled.
  • Once the potatoes are cool add them to the mixture and combine together slowly.
  • Now add the mayonnaise and start with a 1/2 cup you may want to add more but it's best to start out with less because you can always as more. Gently combined together well.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste, then refrigerate for about 1 hour or until chilled.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
