How to Make Linda's Special Potato Salad

  1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add salt to the water (about 1 teaspoon). Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, celery, red onion, chopped eggs, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Stir in the fresh parsley (if using).
  7. Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
