Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes

  • Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Drain and let cool completely (chilling in the fridge speeds this up).

2. Prepare the Eggs & Vegetables

  • Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
  • Thinly slice the green onions.
  • Finely dice the sweet pickles.

3. Mix the Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, eggs, green onions, and pickles.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and celery seed.
  • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold until evenly coated.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Chill & Serve

  • For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Enjoy as a side dish at BBQs, picnics, or family dinners!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
