Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring the potatoes to a boil along with 2 teaspoons of the salt. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, dice the celery, onion, pickles, eggs, and celery leaves.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
  • Add the potatoes to a large bowl and gently stir in the diced celery, diced onion,  diced pickles, garlic powder, and the remaining salt and pepper. 
  • Gently stir the mayonnaise and Dijon into the potatoes, making sure not to break up too many the potato pieces.
  • Top the potato salad with the chopped eggs, and the chopped celery leaves.
  • Chill at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight is best.

Notes

6Note: This potato salad is best chilled for at least 4 hours before serving, but overnight is best. 
Never leave a mayonnaise-based potato salad sitting out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If the temperature outside is HOT, never leave a mayonnaise-based potato salad sitting out for longer than 1 hour.
