I’m Ready to Start Baking!

Get the potatoes ready first. Toss the diced and peeled potatoes with enough water to cover them in a big saucepan. While the heat is set to medium-high, bring the water to a boil. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. One to ten minutes is the typical time required for this.

After the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the water and place them in a big basin. Now, chilling the cooked potatoes until they’re cold is the key to making this potato salad even more wonderful. Believe me when I say that this is the most important stage for texture and taste.

Let the potatoes cool in the fridge while we get the other components ready. Separate the cooked eggs and finely slice the green onions. Chop the eggs into small pieces. Sweet pickles—a must-have! Also, mince them.

The potatoes need to be cooled before the other ingredients can be combined. Toss the potatoes with the chopped eggs, sliced green onions, and diced sweet pickles in the bowl. Carefully combine all of the ingredients, tossing lightly to distribute them equally.

Get ready to amp up the zing! Combine the celery seed and mustard that have been prepared. With these two additions, the salad’s wonderful flavors really shine, and it gets that real Southern feel.

The luscious last step is here! Coat the potatoes and other ingredients evenly with the mayonnaise by adding it to the basin and mixing everything well. In addition to bringing the ingredients together, the mayonnaise elevates this potato salad with its delicious smoothness.
