Ingredients

2 pounds of potatoes (about 4 medium-sized), peeled and cut into cubes
1 cup Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped dill pickle (optional)
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Begin by boiling the potatoes. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a creamy dressing.
Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl and gently fold in the dressing until all the potato cubes are thoroughly coated.
Carefully incorporate the chopped onions, celery, and dill pickles (if using) into the salad. Mix gently to combine.
If desired, fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs for added richness.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.

This Hellmann’s Potato Salad is sure to become a staple at your gatherings. Enjoy the creamy goodness paired with your favorite main dishes or simply as a standalone treat!
