Ingredients

Steps

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, and relish together in a large bowl.

  3. Add the warm potatoes, eggs, celery, and onion to the bowl.

  4. Fold everything together gently so the potatoes don't turn to mush.

  5. Season with salt and pepper and chill at least 1 hour before serving.
