Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plus more for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Cover potatoes with cold water, add the tablespoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork-tender.
  • Place the eggs in a separate saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling and chopping.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, pickles, celery, red onion, and sweet relish together. Sprinkle the celery seed, paprika, salt, and pepper over the top.
  • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and use a spatula to fold everything together until it’s evenly coated. Be gentle to keep some of the potato pieces intact.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate your Southern potato salad for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
  • Give it a final taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with a little more paprika and some fresh chives for a pop of color, and enjoy!
