Our Easy Southern Potato Salad is a crowd-pleasing recipe that combines tender potatoes, crunchy celery, tangy pickle relish, and creamy mayonnaise dressing with a hint of mustard. This classic dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, burgers, ribs, and Southern baked beans.
Ingredients
- Potatoes (Yukon Gold or purple potatoes work best, but you can also use russet potatoes)
- Celery
- Spring onions
- Pickle relish (you can use dill pickle for a stronger flavor)
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
- Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the potatoes. Peel them and cut them into cubes.
- Place the potato cubes in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. You don’t want them to be mushy, so keep an eye on them.
- Drain the cooked potatoes in a sieve and let them cool slightly while you prepare the sauce.
Useful Tips
- If you prefer to skip peeling the potatoes, Yukon Gold and Red Potatoes have a thin skin and cook up tenderly, so you can leave the skin on.
- For a dill pickle flavor, use dill pickle relish instead of the sweet one. You can also add a small amount of pickle juice for extra flavor.
- When garnishing the salad with paprika, sprinkle it using your hands. This way, you can control the amount better compared to using a spice shaker.
Enjoy this delightful Easy Southern Potato Salad at your next gathering. It’s a timeless classic that will surely become a favorite!
