Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (Duke’s for authentic flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery

  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  7. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
