- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 1/2 cup finely chopped celery to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gently fold in the cooled potatoes and 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
