- Celery – ½ cup chopped
- Pickle relish – 2 tablespoons

Instructions
Boil the Potatoes
- Place cubed potatoes in a large pot. Add water and a pinch of salt. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes until soft but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
Prepare the Eggs
- Boil eggs in a separate pot for 10 minutes. Let them cool, then peel and chop into small pieces. This adds richness and texture to the salad.
Make the Dressing
- In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of the salad.
Add Vegetables
- Add chopped onion, celery and pickle relish into the dressing. Mix well to combine. These ingredients add crunch and flavor to the salad.
Combine Potatoes
- Add the cooked potatoes into the bowl. Gently mix so they do not break too much. Make sure all pieces are coated with dressing evenly.
Add Eggs
- Add chopped boiled eggs to the mixture. Stir gently to combine. Eggs give the salad a rich and creamy texture.
Chill the Salad
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps flavors blend and improves taste.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, sprinkle paprika on top. You can also add fresh herbs if you like. Serve cold and enjoy your Paula Deen Potato Salad Recipe.
Notes
- Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture.
- Let potatoes cool before mixing with dressing.
- Use full-fat mayonnaise for best flavor.
- Add more mustard for extra tangy taste.
- Chill well before serving for better results.
- Mix gently to keep potato chunks intact.
