Prep Time:10 minutes
Chill Time:2 hours
Total Time:2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes peeled, cubed and boiled until tender
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 large rib celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the cooked potatoes, eggs, carrot, celery and onion.
  • Chop up the eggs while in the bowl with the potatoes.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, paprika, and salt.
  • Add the dressing to the potatoes.
  • Stir until combined. You want to use your spoon while stirring to smash some of the potatoes, so you end up with a creamy potato salad that still has some potato chunks.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hour or until cold (24 hours is preferred to allow the flavors to develop).
  • Sprinkle with more paprika before serving.
