Potato Salad

Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds small potatoes I like Yukon Gold
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup low fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • paprika

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and continue cooking for 25 minutes or until the potatoes feel cooked when you push in a fork.
  • Meanwhile, cover the eggs with water in a smaller saucepan, and bring the water to a boil. Once the water boils, cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the eggs cook in the hot water for about 12 minutes, before cooling in a bath of ice water.
  • When the eggs and potatoes are done, put them into the fridge to let them cool until you are ready to assemble the salad.
  • To make the salad, chop the potatoes into bite sized cubes, and the eggs into smaller cubes. I reserved part of one egg for garnish on the top.
  • Next, mix the potatoes, eggs, chopped onion and chopped celery in a medium sized bowl.
  • In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to form a dressing.
  • Add the dressing to the potato mixture, and toss to coat. A little sprinkle of paprika on top and you’re ready to eat!
