Southern Potato Salad
2 1/2 lbs new potatoes (I use one bag of the baby Yukon from Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard (more if you like it)
1 cup sweet pickle relish (do not drain)
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onions or spring onions to taste (optional)
Cook potatoes with skins in water for 35 minutes (fork tender). Drain off hot water and rinse in cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel and dice.
Mix (by hand) all other ingredients together. Gently add the mixture to the potatoes. Store in airtight container in the fridge. I usually make this at night to serve for lunch or dinner the next day. When removing from the fridge, gently toss the salad a bit before serving. Garnish with paprika sprinkles, if desired.
Note: If you like eggs, you can add 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs to the potato salad. I don't find that eggs really add anything to this version of potato salad.
Serves 8
