Ingredients

  • 3 large Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and spread out on a sheet pan to cool. Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs; cook for 12 minutes, then remove to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Peel the eggs under cold running water, then roughly chop.

In a large bowl, combine the onion, celery, relish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and the mayonnaise. Fold in the potatoes, eggs and scallions. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

    Really good, overall, but I'll probably try a different recipe next time I decide to make potato salad. Not sure the relish worked for me in this, and, I eyeballed the measurement on the conservative side. I did add some paprika at the end and a taste before and after, I'd definitely do the paprika again and probably more if I did not run out of it -- although pretty typical in potato salad recipes, have to say, it plays well and works with the egg, mayo and potatoes. Will add, husband loved it and went for seconds. . . and, he's not that type of an eater, usually. My endorsement is to try this recipe.

    Loved this! I subbed red peppers instead of celery and added real bacon crumbles. Yummy*
