Ingredients

🥔 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
🧂 Salt to taste
🧅 1 medium onion, chopped
❄️ Ice
🥒 2 celery stalks, diced
🥚 2 boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
🥄 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
🥄 1 tablespoon mustard
🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil
🥄 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

1- Prepare the Potatoes:

• Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into large chunks. Rinse them under running water to remove excess starch.
• Place the diced potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.
• Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and cook for about 10 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; the potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape.
• Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.

2- Prepare the Onion:

• Chop the onion finely. To mellow the raw onion taste, place the chopped onion in a bowl with ice and cover with cold water. Let it soak for a few minutes, then drain well.

3- Mix the Salad:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, drained onions, diced celery, and chopped boiled eggs.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and sour cream. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined and the dressing evenly coats the potatoes.

4- Adjust and Serve:

• Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or mustard to your preference.
• Refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve chilled as a side dish for your favorite meals.
