How to Make Susan's Amazing Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes in their skins for 35-40 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Remove potatoes from heat and allow to cool completely (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  3. While potatoes cool, prepare 6 large eggs. Hard-boil eggs for 10 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel and set aside to cool.
  4. Once potatoes and eggs are cool, peel the potatoes and dice into 1-inch cubes.
  5. Dice the hard-boiled eggs into 1/2-inch cubes.
  6. In a large bowl, gently combine the potatoes and eggs.
  7. Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow flavors to meld. Even better if chilled overnight!
