Ingredients

• 2 lbs. (4 to 4 medium) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
• 1 Tbsp. PLUS 1/2 tsp. salt, divided use
• 2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar
• 1 medium celery rib, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Directions

1. Place potatoes in large saucepan and add water to cover by one inch. Bring to boil over medium high heat; add 1 Tbsp. of the salt, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring once or twice, until potatoes are tender but still firm and not mealy, about 8 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together chopped celery, onion, pickle relish, mayonnaise, dry mustard, celery seed, parsley, black pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Using rubber spatula, gently fold dressing and eggs, if using, into potatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.

4. Potato salad can be covered and refrigerated for up to one day.

5. Notes: To substitute celery salt for the celery seed omit salt in the dressing.

6. If potato salad is too dry, add upo to 2 Tbsp. more mayonnaise.
