How to Make Aaa Potato Salad

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs of potatoes. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Remove 1/2 cup of the prepared mayonnaise mixture and set aside.
  4. Gently fold in the cooked and cooled potatoes, 1 cup diced celery, 1/2 cup diced red onion, and 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, taste and add reserved mayonnaise mixture as needed. For extra creaminess, add more! Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
