Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 6 green onions, diced
  • 5 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot of cold water, add the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 30-35 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Peel and Chop: Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Toss warm potatoes with white vinegar in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in Vegetables: Add diced celery and green onions to the bowl. Chop four hard-boiled eggs and fold them in.
  4. Prepare Dressing: In another bowl, mix Miracle Whip, yellow mustard, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Combine this dressing with the potato mixture until well-coated.
  5. Chill: Top with remaining egg slices and paprika before refrigerating for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
