Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 red potatoes
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise I use Best Foods
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes. Add to cool water and boil until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool at room temperature while boiling eggs.
  • Make hardboiled eggs using your preferred method. I like doing this on the stove-top. Peel and chop into bite-sized chunks.
  • Place chopped eggs and cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Cover bowl and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve. Top with paprika if desired.
