🕒 The Details

  • Prep time: 20 mins 🔪
  • Cook time: 15 mins ⏲️
  • Chill time: At least 2 hours (best if overnight!) ❄️

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (peeled and cubed) 🥔
  • 6 Large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped 🥚
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise (Duke’s is a Southern favorite!) 🥄
  • 2 tbsp Yellow mustard 💛
  • 1/2 cup Sweet pickle relish 🥒
  • 1/2 cup Red onion or celery, finely diced (for that crunch!) 🧅
  • 1 tsp Paprika (plus extra for garnish) ✨
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste 🧂

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. Boil: Place your cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–15 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool slightly. 🥔🔥
  2. The Eggs: While the potatoes cook, hard-boil your eggs. Once cooled, peel and chop them up (save a few slices for the top if you want to be fancy!). 🥚🔪
  3. The Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, relish, paprika, salt, and pepper. 🥣✨
  4. The Mix: Gently fold the warm potatoes, chopped eggs, and diced onions into the dressing until everything is perfectly coated. 🥗🤤
  5. The Garnish: Smooth the top, sprinkle with a little extra paprika and black pepper, and add those egg slices. 🍳🌿
  6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This allows all those southern flavors to meld together! ❄️⏳

💡 Pro-Tip:

Add the dressing while the potatoes are still slightly warm! They will soak up all that creamy goodness much better than cold potatoes. 😋🧤
