Classic Potato Salad
featured in Vegan Vs. Classic Potato Salad
This simple summer side dish staple is easy to master with this recipe! Gold potatoes are tossed in a creamy-tangy mixture of mayo, pickle relish, and mustard, with diced red onion and hard-boiled eggs for extra texture. Pro tip: add the dressing to the potatoes in thirds, allowing 5 minutes between each addition, for the creamiest texture.

Preparation
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12–15 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, red onion, celery, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- In a small bowl, stir together the white vinegar, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the sugar until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
- While the potatoes are still hot, pour the vinegar mixture over and toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
- Add ⅓ of the egg mixture to the potatoes, tossing to coat completely. Let sit for another 5 minutes, then toss with another ⅓ of the egg mixture. Just before serving, toss with the remaining egg mixture.
- Enjoy!
