- 8 small red potatoes
- 2 medium stalks of celery diced
- 5 hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- paprika optional, for garnish
Wash the potatoes under running water, and cut or quarter them until roughly the same size
Place potatoes in large pot of cold salted water, and bring to a boil
Reduce heat to simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Start testing around 5 minutes so that they don't over cook
Then, drain the potatoes, and after they cool down, peel the skins, and cut them into small bite sized cubes
Place potatoes into large mixing bowl, and add chopped celery and eggs
Add 1 cup mayonnaise and stir until well coated. Add more mayo until creamy or until texture is how you like it -- the total amount will depend on how much mayo you like.
Add some salt and pepper, to taste, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Add sliced hard boiled egg and paprika for garnish, if desired
You can add more or use less mayo depending upon your own tastes. You may need to add additional mayonnaise for extra creaminess before serving.
Do not leave potato salad out for more than 2 hours for food safety. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
