The BEST Potato Salad Recipe
A classic potato salad recipe just like my mom used to make. It's easy to make, flavorful, creamy and crunchy - that's why it's the best! Watch the video above and learn how to make it!
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 7 red or white new potatoes Yukon Gold also works
- 6 eggs
- 3 stalks celery sliced
- 4 spring onions sliced
- 6 radishes grated
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dill weed
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Salt the water, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until a fork inserts easily with a little resistance.
- Fill another pot with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low (so that there's no bubbles breaking the surface) and use a skimmer to gently and slowly add the eggs. Cook the eggs for 12 – 14 minutes, then place in an ice water bath to immediately stop their cooking. For more tips, read my post on how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- Once the potatoes have finished cooking, drain the water. Fill the pot with cold water to cool the potatoes down, then drain again.
- Place both the eggs and potatoes in the refrigerator to cool completely.
- While your potatoes and eggs are cooling, prepare the celery, radishes, green onion and dill. Add the ingredients to a large bowl along with the mayonnaise.
- Once your potatoes and eggs are fully cooled, peel the eggs and cube both the potatoes and eggs into 1-inch sized pieces. Add to your mixing bowl with the mayonnaise and vegetables. Stir gently until well combined.
- Serve the potato salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes
- To make this salad even healthier, I use my homemade mayonnaise recipe (as I can control the quality of oil and make sure there's no unnecessary ingredients).
- This is my favorite skimmer for making hard boiled eggs as it's large and wide.
