How to Make Basic Potato Salad
- Wash and scrub 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
- While potatoes are cooking, hard-boil 6 large eggs. Once cooked, immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Peel and chop the eggs once cooled.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly (about 10 minutes). Once cool enough to handle, gently peel and cube the potatoes (if you haven’t already).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon celery seed, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers for later enjoyment.
